Senior Yearbook Portraits

Class of 2027 Senior Portrait Information

Welcome Class of 2027 to your senior portrait scheduling!

CADY will be the new provider of our senior portraits and you likely received an email directly from them. They have already opened up scheduling for our on-campus roadshows on August 29 and September 12. Additional dates will be added as these sessions fill up. Those additional dates, if needed, are October 3 and October 10.

There is no charge for the "Basic" drape or tux photograph that will appear in the yearbook. That option is listed at the bottom of the session types. Expanded portrait session options are available (sitting fee costs vary based on what you select and are visible on the Cady Scheduling Page.

Students also have the opportunity to use CADY's studio for their portraits. Those sessions can be scheduled now using the Cady Website. The studio address is listed on their page. The types of portrait sessions available on campus and at the CADY studio are visible when you schedule.

We've updated the Canvas Yearbook Module to reflect the information you will need for portraits, yearbook preorders, senior brags, and superlatives.
