senior photos class of 2024
All seniors must get their YEARBOOK PHOTO taken through Prestige Portraits. This service is free of charge to every single student. This procedure is not only equitable for ALL students, it streamlines the process for parents, students, and the yearbook advisor. In addition, ALL students in the class of 2024 will be included on the class composite as a result of using Prestige.
The yearbook and composite photos were taken August 16-18. If your senior missed their appointment, you can schedule an appointment at one of Prestige’s studios by visiting www.prestigeportraits.com/studio or calling 517-349-1703 to set up an appointment. The closest studio to Rochester is the Shelby Township studio. The deadline to be photographed outside of our scheduled on-site dates is October 14, 2023. Due to yearbook printing deadlines, any student that does not meet that deadline will not be included in the senior section of the yearbook.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Mrs. Millard at [email protected].

If you see something, say something. Please report all safety and security concerns to the Main Office Staff or to Officer Drehmer.
