Attention parents of high school seniors. HS Yearbook is only accepting centered head and shoulder shots of seniors without props this year for publication. If you are unsure what is acceptable, you can send more than one photo. We prefer a dark background, but outdoor pictures are acceptable as long as the background does not distract from the subject. The deadline is March 27th.
