Senior Picture Submissions

We have a NEW process in place for submitting your senior portrait for the 2026 yearbook.  The following information regarding submission of senior portraits is very important, so please read it carefully!

The deadline for submitting your senior portrait is November 3, 2025!  This is a HARD DEADLINE!

If a senior portrait is not uploaded via link and steps below by 11/3/2025, your student's Lifetouch portrait will be used instead, if a portrait is available.

Plan ahead; pictures should be taken by early September to give your photographer time to prepare your photo for the yearbook. Students may choose their own photographer to shoot their senior portrait for the yearbook. If you do not use a professional photographer, please ensure you are still following the same guidelines and are submitting a high-resolution image.

Please inform your photographer of the following criteria:

• JPEG file format is preferred
• Photo quality needs to be 300 DPI or higher for actual image size (A high resolution photo is needed for printing purposes)
• Portrait should be a vertical head and shoulder shot.  Horizontal photos will NOT be accepted
• Simple, neutral backgrounds look best in the yearbook
• File NOT to exceed 50 MB.  Very Important!

We realize that the more formal, head and shoulders shot may not be your favorite pose or the one you choose to exchange with friends, but these guidelines will ensure consistency in the yearbook. See senior portrait example below:

Ads for Grads

Every year, the yearbook staff sponsors a fundraiser available to seniors called Ads for Grads.  These advertisements are a unique part of the yearbook in that they add a personal, heartfelt touch to your senior's yearbook by looking back on their early years.  An Ad for Grad is a wonderful way to say something important to your child before they graduate from CHS, whether it's sound advice, a special quote or poem, or a message about just how much you love them.  All proceeds form Ads for Grads go back to the Hawk to help supplement the costs of the yearbook.  All Ads will be paid and submitted online to Jostens.  Shop the collection at jostensadservice.com and selected Student Recognition Ad for $60 for 1/8 of a page or $90 for a 1/4 of a page. Payment plans are available.  Call 1-800-358-0800 for customer service.

Ads for Grads are due January 9, 2025
