Students may choose their own photographer to take their senior yearbook portrait. A simple head and shoulders shot is required (see example). Any deviations from the standard “headshot” WILL NOT be published.
Please inform your photographer of the following criteria:
- Upload ONE digital photo. Full color image preferred.
- Photo quality needs to be 300 DPI or higher for wallet size photo. (Basically, a high-resolution image is needed for printing purposes)
- Do NOT upload PNG or TIFF files. Very important - JPEG file only!
- Photo size must be under 50 MB.
- Portraits should be vertical; we will NOT accept horizontal images
- Simple, neutral backgrounds look best in the yearbook.
- No props are allowed! (No hats, sunglasses, sports equipment, animals, cars, weapons, vehicles, etc.

Submission Process
Process for uploading senior photo:
- Go to the Jostens photo submission website
- Choose the photo to be uploaded. REMEMBER, each student may only submit ONE photo!
- Provide parent or photographer contact information.
- The person uploading the photo should enter his/her information.
- Provide IMAGE information.
- It is extremely important to spell the student's name correctly.
- Type the student's first and last name as you would like it to appear in the yearbook.
- Select grade 12 from the dropdown menu.
- In the description field, type Senior Portrait.
- Click the box to agree to the terms and conditions.
- Click on "upload chosen images" in the blue box to complete the process.
- You will see a confirmation page and should receive a confirmation email shortly after your submission.
NOTE: Photographers uploading their clients' photos may upload more than one student's photo at a time.
Seniors, please make sure to get your picture taken on the designated picture day with JostensPix, too.
This ensures that you will have a current photo for your student ID and will allow Yearbook Staff to use the “school” picture as a “backup,” should you not submit a custom option.
If you choose to use the JostensPix portrait as your senior photo, you will NOT need to upload a photo to the site.
