class of 2026 senior photo information
All seniors for the class of 2026 must get their YEARBOOK PHOTO taken by Prestige Portraits. This procedure is not only equitable for ALL students, it streamlines the process for parents, students, and the yearbook advisor. This service is free of charge to every single student. In addition, ALL students in the class of 2026 will be included on the class composite as a result of using Prestige.
Prestige Portraits will be taking senior yearbook photos August 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th in the Stoney Creek High School auditorium from 8am-4pm. You can go online and schedule your senior’s appointment within the confines of those four days using the above link. Be sure to use Rochester Hills as the city to locate your child.
If those dates do not work out for your senior, you will need to arrange a time to go to the Shelby Township or Ferndale studio to be photographed no later than October 11th, 2025. Please make that appointment sooner than later as most schools in our area have similar deadlines and appointment times may be limited. Any student not photographed by October 11th, 2025, will not be included in the senior section of the yearbook.
Once the photos are processed, students/parents will have the ability to choose their preferred photo by October 26, 2025 and then Prestige will send the digital file to Stoney Creek High School for inclusion in the yearbook and class composite. There is nothing else that the student (or parent) needs to do to appear in the yearbook or on the class composite. If no photo is chosen, the studio will select one and that photo will appear in the yearbook, on the class composite, and on the slide deck for honors convocation and graduation.
Please remember that this is a formal section of the yearbook. Students should be in a shirt and tie, collared shirt, dress, sweater, or blouse. All clothing needs to meet these specifications and the RCS dress code policy. If you need help obtaining proper attire, or you need more information regarding attire, please contact Mrs. Millard or your senior’s counselor.
Students and parents will still have the opportunity to go to their preferred choice of photographer, if it is not Prestige Portraits, for their other senior photos. While only the yearbook pose sitting fee is FREE OF CHARGE, Prestige will also be offering significant discounts for other senior picture packages as well. You will receive marketing materials with those discounts from them in the coming weeks.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Millard.

The loop is reserved for busses and authorized vehicles with permits only.
