    2023 SR Yearbook ADS

    LIMITED SPACE AVAILABLE

     

    Yearbook senior recognition ads are now on sale.  They are available in two sizes:  half page and full page.  The half page typically can hold up to 12 photos and a brief message.  The full page ad can hold quite a few!  The key here is the size you want the pictures to be and how lengthy the message.  In choosing pictures, be mindful of the darkness of the photo.  The format I receive the picture in will determine the size I can make it on the ad.  If taking pictures of framed pictures, be mindful of the glare.  I can accept pictures via email, Remind app (usually only one at a time), or I can scan hardcopy photos.  I would need to know two to three colors you would like to be used on the ad and a good working email address or phone number!! I like to send proofs of all ads for your approval.

    To secure an ad:  Please return this form along with a $30 deposit.  The remaining balance will be due in full by April 1, 2023.  All pictures and messages must be received by February 25, 2023.

    UPDATE 10/26/22
    The last chance for seniors to take FORMAL SENIOR PICS is Thursday, October 27 starting at 8:30 AM.  We are only doing makeup pictures, so it will not take long.  Any senior that intends to have these made needs to be at the school at 8:30 AM.  
     
    HCHS seniors are not to order any honor cords or sashes from any organization not directly affiliated with HCHS.  If they are an active member of a club we have here at school, those sponsors will be the ones offering and issuing cords.  Unless they are in our top ten/honor court, band, FFA, FBLA, Ambassadors, Beta, healthcare classes at the career academy, or Key Club, we do not recognize other pay-to-wear cords and sashes.
