The deadline to submit Senior Photos for the Class of 2019 for inclusion in the yearbook is November 1, 2018.  As this date is rapidly approaching, here are a few reminders for submitting Senior Photos.
 
Senior Photos in the yearbook are small, so ideally the photo should just show the head and shoulders - we want show as much of your face as possible!  Photos must be vertical color prints that meet the following requirements:
  • No pets
  • No hats
  • Simple background
  • School appropriate clothing
To submit your Senior Photo, please follow this process:
  • Ensure that you are submitting a digital copy of your photo.  DO NOT submit a screen shot of your senior picture from your photographer.  The image must be at least 2x3 inches at 300dpi.  Files should be submitted as a .jpg or a .tiff.  If you cannot submit a digital file, we can digitize your photo but this will reduce the quality of the original.
  • Name your file with your last name_your first name (Ex: Doe_John)
  • Upload your file to this link: https://images.jostens.com/410583672
Many local photographers have these deadlines and may send the photo for you if you ask.  Please note that we cannot accept prints from a laser or inkjet computer printer.
 
Photos received after the November 1 deadline will result in a $25 fee.  Photos received after November 15th WILL NOT be published in the 2018-19 yearbook.  Any students who do not turn in a Senior Photo prior to the November 1 deadline will have their HUHS school photo published in the yearbook. 
 
More information, including a list of local photographers and the listed of submitted Senior Photos, can be found on the  Yearbook page on the HUHS website.

2018-2019 Information



New This Year - Clubs & Activities Online Registration
Starting for the 2018-19 school year, all students wishing to participate in activities, clubs or sports will need to complete the Online Forms through Skyward Family/Student access.  All steps need to be marked as completed including step #8 "SUBMIT SY19 ATHLETIC/CO-CURRICULAR FORMS".  Online Forms only need to be completed once per school year, so if a student participates in a sport as well as a club or activity the Online Forms only need to complete once.

If the student is only participating in an activity or club but will not be participating in a sport, they may mark step 3 complete and do not need to have a Physical Clearance Form completed by their Physician.  

Once the online forms have been completed, the student will then need to pick up an "Orange Card" from the Co-Curricular Office clearing them to participate in their activity or club. Activity/Club organizers will inform students of this change at the first sign up meeting and collect the orange cards before the next regularly scheduled meeting.
