The first date incoming seniors will want to take advantage of for senior portraits this summer is June 8^th , and the second date is July 26^th .  If you wait until September to take your picture you will not have an opportunity to make any changes!  That’s because September is the retake date, and all senior pictures are scheduled over the summer to allow for more time with the photographer and let them choose their yearbook picture.  If you don’t take your senior picture over the summer, you will only have the one taken on the retake date in September to use!

Congratulations to another one of our outstanding Collegiate Scholars Institute students, Abygayle Rausch, who has recently been accepted and will be attending three prestigious summer pre-college programs:
