Prestige will photograph seniors from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Friday, October 29 in the auxiliary gym. The deadline to be photographed by Prestige to have your senior picture included in the yearbook is January 31, 2022. There will be a sign up sheet available mid-October for the Senior Portrait Picture Day.

Picture day for HHS underclassmen will be on Tuesday, September 28 in the auditorium. Students should have taken home an order form this week. If not, they can pick one up in the high school office. Parents will also be able to order pictures online at Lifetouch Online Ordering. The school code for ordering is: EVT9JPGCV. Online orders must be placed before picture day or within 24 hours afterwards.

Students will have their picture taken during his/her English class. Regardless of whether or not you purchase a photo package, all students are encouraged to have their picture taken as the photograph is used for the yearbook and generates a student ID.

Picture Retake Day is 11/9: Students will be able to pick up a picture order form in the office the first week of November.
