Senior slideshow, pictures, quotes, superlatives and more
Senior Quotes, Superlatives, Remember Whens, Wills - Submit all of your responses through this google form no later than April 30. All responses will be subject to approval by school administration. Responses that are discriminatory in any way will not be included. Responses that promote academic dishonesty, are disparaging to Deer Park or individuals in our community, or that involve illegal or inappropriate messages will not be included.
Senior Slideshow - Submit photos you want to have considered for the senior slideshow via this Dropbox link. Rules: photos must include graduating seniors ONLY - no teachers, students from other grades, etc. The only exception is Seth Dryer - he may be included photos. Photos of very large groups will not be included (try to keep it at 5 or under). Deadline for submissions is April 30.
Senior Pictures - If you want your portrait to be included in the senior section of the yearbook or the class pictures that hang in the hall, you must be photographed by Prestige Portraits by May 31 - no exceptions. The sooner the better.
You must contact Prestige and let them know you are from Deer Park. They will give you several options of portrait packages to purchase. The cheapest option is the one that gets you in the yearbook and in the class picture. You may do larger packages if you want to, but that is up to you.
In the past, Prestige has scheduled a “Last Chance” day when they come to the school to take photos of seniors who have not scheduled their pictures on their own. Due to Covid restrictions, we do not know if they will be able to do that this year, so to ensure your spot in the yearbook and in the class pictures, schedule an appointment with Prestige ASAP. Their contact information is below:
