IMPORTANT YEARBOOK SUBMISSION AND ORDERING INFORMATION
Attention Seniors as well as Parents and Guardians. Please submit your desired senior portraits for use in the 2022-2023 Yearbook. These pictures can be professional pictures or simply a picture that you like. If you choose not to submit a secondary photo, we will use the pictures taken by Inter-State Studios (i.e. your ID photos). Additionally, we are asking that students submit a "baby photo" to be used for the yearbook.
Finally, seniors are being asked to submit their senior quotes. These quotes must be school appropriate and are subject to review. The quote cannot be extensively long, so choose your words wisely!
To submit these photos and senior quotes, please email Mr. Kirkton at kirktonj@husd4.org. Make sure to include the name of the senior in the email so they can easily be placed in the correct spots.
We will accept submissions through the first week of April, so you have plenty of time to get those turned in.
The Heyworth High School Yearbook is officially available through our digital store. You are able to order starting now and it will run through May 1st. There are limited quantities of the yearbook and the only way to guarantee one for your student is to purchase it early. We did sell out last year and we expect to sell out again this year. The cost of the base-level book is $50, but there are additional options for personalization. The yearbook staff would like to thank you for your continued support and we are excited to show off all the great content we have in store for this year's publication.
