SUBMIT SENIOR PICTURES BY DECEMBER 1st., 2026

6. Once finished, scroll down and fill in your student's name and click "Submit Photos"
Photo Specifics:
Color or black and white (the yearbook is all color, so most students choose color).
Full face and shoulders, no hands.
No hats or extra objects.
All pictures will be cropped so that they are head and shoulder shots.
*Suggested* to avoid spaghetti straps or strapless dresses/tops as they often do not crop well.
Please submit your photo to yearbookforever.com. Directions are below.
Digital images should be a minimum of 300 dpi.
We will use the student name listed in PowerSchool unless otherwise notified. Any alternative name to the primary one in PowerSchool must be registered as a "preferred name" in PowerSchool. If you would like to use your preferred name in all 2026/2027 Yearbook references, please complete this form no later than January 31st, 2027.
We encourage ALL seniors to submit a Senior Photo rather than using their school ID photo. You may use ANY PHOTOGRAPHER of your choice. To make the process easier, a professional photographer will be coming to Pioneer to offer Senior Photo sessions.
See below for details and information on how to schedule your session.
