Good Morning Class of 2023 students and families,
I am so excited and looking forward to the class of 2023 leading EWG High School next year! They have been very impressive since the day they entered high school and I know they will continue to be. One of the first official acts of being seniors is to get your senior portrait taken for the yearbook over the summer. I am thrilled to announce we have a new official photographer that will be working with you this year!

The studio will begin by providing us with 136 available sessions.

I am including the contact information for the studio for your reference. You will be getting it in their email to you but having extra information will not hurt. The information that follows will also come directly from the studio too.
