Grad 2025 Photo Dates: November 3- November 21
All Grad photos for school purposes are taken by an outside photography company, Artona. In order for Grads to be included in the Yearbook and the Composite Photo, students must have a picture taken.
Please book a time as soon as possible-- there ARE enough time slots available for all grads to be photographed but students that wait until the last minute to schedule a sitting time may find that the dates and times are limited.
There is a $60 REFUNDABLE deposit at the time of sitting with no obligation to purchase. Should you opt not to order, you can request to have the deposit refunded; for those ordering, the deposit will apply to your order.
