Monty Nuss Senior Yearbook Photos In School Session LAST CHANCE: October 22, 9am-11am between the North and South buildings. Sign up your SENIOR here if they have not done a studio session at Monty Nuss.

Seniors must have their photo taken by this photographer for their portrait to be in the book. This exclusive photographer process is for senior yearbook photos only. YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO USE PERSONAL PHOTOS OF YOUR CHOICE FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES – SENIOR TRIBUTE ADS, GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS, ETC! This studio provides excellent photography for your graduate and has created specific opportunities for Douglas County seniors. Seniors who do not schedule an appointment at Monty Nuss studios over the summer/fall, will need to attend the last FREE yearbook day (October 22) at the school in order to ensure they will be included in the 2027 yearbook.

As always, parents are welcome to schedule and purchase senior photos from the photographer of their choice, and you may purchase a senior ad and use any of your chosen photos, but for senior YEARBOOK photo, it will need to come from Monty Nuss studios. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.
