Senior year is a milestone worth celebrating — and a busy one! Between senior portraits, yearbook deadlines, recognition ads, and ordering, there's a lot for seniors and their families to keep track of. This page brings it all together in one place so nothing important slips by. Check back often, and enjoy every minute of this final year at St. Clair High School.


Senior Portraits 

Senior portrait deadline: Tuesday, December 1, 2026


Seniors have two options for their senior yearbook photo, both through Kaiser Studio. Portraits must be taken, and your yearbook pose selected, by December 1, 2026 submission deadline.


Two photos, two purposes — seniors need both. Your regular school photo (taken on Saints Day) is for your student ID and school records. Your senior portrait is a separate, formal headshot taken by Kaiser Studio, our designated studio — the pose you select is the one printed in the yearbook's senior section and the graduating class composite. If no senior portrait is taken, your ID photo will be used in the composite instead.


Important — Kaiser Studio only for the graduate composite.  Senior pictures taken by other studios/photographers will NOT be accepted for the graduate composite.


Option 1 — At school, through Kaiser Studio

Senior picture days at school are Tuesday, November 3, 2026, and Wednesday, November 4, 2026.

Seniors must sign up in advance through Kaiser’s sign-up link for the in-school Senior Proofs sessions -- click the "Link to sign up for In-School Senior Session" above. 


There is a $10 sitting fee to be photographed at school. They will take four poses — 2 head & shoulder poses and 2 cap & gown poses — and a cap & gown option is included in the poses.   Note from Kaiser: these dates are for Senior Yearbook portraits only — all students must still attend Saints Day for their student ID picture.


Option 2 — At Kaiser’s Troy studio

Schedule a senior portrait session at Kaiser Studio (yearbook only or full session) in the summer/fall. Studio sitting fees apply.


Kaiser Studio is located at 1825 Birchwood Drive in Troy, MI. — www.kaiserstudio.com

Scheduling: use Kaiser’s studio scheduling link below. This link is for in-studio sessions at the Troy studio — it is separate from the in-school Senior Proofs sign-up link above.


Selecting your yearbook pose

You MUST select a yearbook pose by December 1, 2026. Kaiser emails a link to select the headshot.  If no pose is selected, Kaiser selects one.  No order is required to select a pose; you can place orders anytime during the school year.  Once the school receives yearbook images, it no longer accepts pose changes. Kaiser submits the yearbook images to the school.


Senior portrait dress code

Dress code for the yearbook pose: no hats, T-shirts, drapes, bare shoulders, spaghetti straps, hoodies.

Create your ad online — Jostens Yearbook Ad Designer

Parents and families create Senior Recognition Ads themselves online in the Jostens Yearbook Ad Designer. Choose a size, pick a template/layout in the designer, add your photos and message, save a draft if you need to, and submit and pay online before the deadline: Thursday, February 11, 2027 — all ads are due that day.  Use the link above to create a Senior Recognition/Proud Parent Ad.  


Templates and layouts

All templates and layouts are inside the Ad Designer — the designer holds the templates and the photo/text areas for each size, so there is no separate layout list to pick from on this page. You can change size/layout during a session without losing your photos or text. Photos may need re-positioning or cropping after a change.
