Parents of the Class of 2027, you and your rising senior received an Infinite Campus message earlier this afternoon from yearbook adviser Steve Hanf about signing up for senior photos.

We are THRILLED to announce that we are using a great new company called CADY for all school photography! That means some changes to the way things have been done before, of course, but we think everyone will like the work done by this great company!

Booking for senior portraits is officially OPEN, and you can access the link either here or in the Infinite Campus message you received (with more in-depth details there). Book your session now with Cady at:

SUNDAY EVENING UPDATE – CAMERA FOUND!!!💙💙💙

Hey, Nighthawk Nation, if anyone came across a camera like this one we’d love to reunite it with a very sad Class of 2026 grad, who had it fall out of her bag last night while walking from the stadium to the parking lot. It looks like this:

Parents of seniors, a note:

Our seniors do NOT need to contact their counselor to request that final transcripts be sent to their various post-secondary institutions (universities, colleges, community colleges, trade schools, etc.). This is why we had all our seniors complete Mrs. Mitchell's Senior Survey in May. Transcripts will not be finalized for at least another week and will start going out then.
