Notes

• Do not take prints from your photographer and scan them. The quality of consumer-grade scanners is not print-quality. Have your photographer submit the image.
• Must be color. If the color of too bright, too dark, too yellow, or the tone is non-conforming, the yearbook staff will try to adjust the photo but will contact the student for another submission if simple editing won't suffice.
• Portraits must be chest-up photo. Full body portraits will be cropped to the head and shoulders level. No hands near face (arms and hands should not be above the waist). No knees blocking the body. Low-resolution photos where the student's full body has been zoomed into cannot be cropped further and will be refused. Do not cut the heads/hairline at the top of the photo.
• The senior must be the only one in the photo with their faces fully viewable (not side or partial profiles). No friends, children, or significant others in the photo.

• No candid pictures.

The Yearbook Staff reserves the right to refuse a photo not meeting specifications.

Students with refused photos will have until December 23, 2024, to resubmit their photo. The school portrait will be used if a suitable photo is not submitted. If the student does not have a student portrait, they will have their name on the “not pictured” list in the yearbook.

• Proofread the quote for grammar, capitalization, or spelling errors. The yearbook staff will not fix capitalization, grammatical, or spelling mistakes. If approved, your quote will be printed as received.
• Be sure the quote is attributed to the correct person if using a quote from someone else.

All quotes are subject to review by the yearbook staff and administration, if necessary. Failure to follow the guidelines above will result in the exclusion of the quote.

A second chance may be given at the discretion of the yearbook staff in very limited situations, however, students who submit a quote that clearly goes against the guidelines will not be given a second chance.

Take the time to read the guidelines and choose the quote wisely.
