As the first semester comes to a close, we want to take a moment to emphasize the importance of securing your senior picture appointment if you haven’t done so already. This is a significant milestone in your journey, and we want to ensure that every senior has the opportunity to capture this special moment.

We’re thrilled to announce that, in response to your feedback, we have opened up over 120 new appointment slots in November! This includes availability on one Sunday and two days during the week of Thanksgiving, making it even easier for you to find a time that works for you.

Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to have your senior portraits taken! Whether you're looking for a classic portrait or something more creative, we’re here to help you express your unique personality.

If you have any questions or would like to book a session, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us at 912-495-5315. Our team is ready to assist you and make this process as smooth as possible.

Warrior Nation,

The HVJ Spear-It Store (Online) is now open for business. Helene put a dent in our original plan of operations but thanks to our AMAZING Dean of Students, we have secured an alternative route for all of your spirit wear needs. For a limited time, you can receive 20% off by using the code SPIRIT20. Proceeds from this online store will allow us to earn percentages from each sale. This will generate revenue for our students to finally begin operating in-house. Click here to start shopping. Thank you for your support!
