Senior Class of 2025 Yearbook Information
Congratulations, you have made it to your senior year! It is time for us to start planning the 2025 yearbook. The yearbook is a publication made by students for students. For us to have an inclusive yearbook that accurately reflects the 2024-2025 school year at MHS we need your help. Please consider lending a helping hand in the creation of this yearbook. There are so many ways to be involved from photographing events, helping design pages, copyediting, and many more. Please email mhs.yearbook@sau26.org if you are interested in helping. We will be holding our first meeting very soon.
Please read this information thoroughly. The yearbook advisors and staff are happy to help the senior class throughout the submission process. It is the responsibility of each student to follow the directions and submit items that meet the requirements.
The final submission deadline for all senior materials is Friday, November 22, 2024.
Senior Portrait
In order to have a spot reserved for you in the senior section, we must receive at least a senior portrait that meets the following requirements:
- Image resolution: 300 DPI or higher
- Image file format: .jpg
- Cropped vertically
- Head and shoulders (recommended due to formatting)
- Student only: no props, other people, or pets
- No special effects or filters (soft focus, b/w, sepia, etc.)
- No inappropriate words and/or symbols/hand gestures
If a student chooses to not submit a senior portrait, their name will appear at the end of the senior section under “Not pictured.”
If Mark Lawrence took your senior portrait, the photographers will directly send us the portrait. If a different photographer took your portrait, it is the responsibility of the student to upload the portrait to our private photo sharing website: https://photos.jostens.com/CT8EHL
Please be sure to upload your senior portrait to the portrait link.
Important: only submit 1 portrait per student and make sure to title the image with the student’s first and last name. You will receive an email from Jostens confirming your upload of the portrait. Please check your “other” or “junk” folders if you don’t receive it.
Baby Photo
You may select one baby photo to be placed next to your senior portrait in the yearbook. The baby photo is optional, if you do not submit a baby photo the space will be left blank. The yearbook staff is no longer accepting printed copies of baby photos. Please upload your baby photo directly to our private photo sharing website https://photos.jostens.com/CT8EHL
Please be sure to upload your baby photo to the portrait link.
If you do not have access to a scanner at home or a digital copy of the photo, you may use the copier in the library to scan your photo. Important: only submit 1 baby photo per student and make sure to title the image with the student’s first and last name. You will receive an email from Jostens confirming your upload of the portrait. Please check your “other” or “junk” folders if you don’t receive it.
