Summit High School

Welcome to The Peak Info Page!

Summit’s yearbook, The Peak, is a student-led publication. Our goal is to include ALL students in the yearbook -- a daunting task! If you would like to help by contributing your own personal photos of Summit students at school-related events for consideration to be included in the book, please visit www.hjeshare.com and enter our school code: skostorm. Instructions for uploading photos to eShare can be found here.

Seniors will NOT be allowed to pick up books for siblings or friends.

UNDERCLASSMEN may begin picking up their yearbook at Field Day, Friday, June 9th.

2022-2023 Yearbook Information: Pre-Purchasing a Yearbook

YEARBOOK PRE-PURCHASING IS CLOSED.

The Early Bird pricing for the 2022-2023 yearbook opened July 26, 2022 for $55 and could be purchased online using your student's account in the district's payment website, Touchbase. After December 1st, pricing went up to $65 per book. All yearbook pre-purchase sales were closed February 1, 2023.

Senior Photos

SENIOR PHOTOS WERE DUE thurSDAY, DECEMBER 1ST. WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING SENIOR PHOTOS FOR THE YEARBOOK.

REQUESTING A NAME CHANGE

NAME CHANGES ARE NO LONGER BEING ACCEPTED FOR THE 2022-2023 YEARBOOK

We do our best to use the name and pronouns you prefer in the yearbook, but we cannot guarantee that every student with a preferred name/ pronouns are included in the book. This is especially so if you did not fill out the form we made available for the first half of the school year letting us know to use a name different from what is listed in Synergy. Keep in mind we submit pages throughout the school year, so if we already submitted a page with your formal or previous name, we will not be able to change it.

SUBMITTING SENIOR PHOTOS

SENIOR PHOTO SUBMISSION WILL REOPEN FOR THE 2023-2024 YEAR IN AUGUST, 2023

Seniors are encouraged to submit their own senior photos via the Herff Jones website www.hjeshare.com. Our school code is "skostorm." Make sure you select "Upload Your Portrait" after entering your contact information. YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE AN EMAIL CONFIRMATION THAT YOUR PHOTO HAS BEEN UPLOADED. If you see the green checkmark and the screen that says "Upload Complete Thanks for Sharing" then you uploaded correctly! We will contact you personally if there are any issues with the portrait.

Please note: This is not required! However, if you are in need of low-cost senior portrait options, please email [email protected]

Senior Photo Requirements:

  1. Photos must be HEAD SHOTS from the chest up with the full head in view. Full body or 3/4 shots will be cropped to fit specifications and could result in a low-quality image.
  2. Full color (No black and white or sepia tones)
  3. In focus and only lightly edited
  4. Vertical orientation, not horizontal. Please do not submit tilted photos.
  5. Face should be well lit and fully visible. Eyes should be looking at the camera. Avoid dark shadows or dappled shadows across the face. Hats and hoodies are discouraged if they obscure the student’s recognizable features. Clothing should reflect what is appropriate at school for all genders.
  6. Photos should only contain the senior (no friends, pets, props, etc.)
  7. No selfies
  8. Your photographer should make sure they are shooting high resolution photos. Images should be submitted as JPEG files at 300 dpi resolution. (File sizes over 8MB may be difficult to upload.)
  9. The name of your file should be your last name_ first name_ 2022.jpg. (Example: Smith_Joaquin_2022.jpg)
  10. Upload the photo to www.hjeshare.com. Summit’s access code is "skostorm." (Do NOT email photos! Using the online method results in higher quality images. Herff Jones customer service can help you with uploading if you have questions about the process.)

All requirements for the photo must be met. If they are not, the student’s school ID photo will be used. The actual use of your submitted photo is at the discretion of the yearbook adviser and staff. Individuality is a-okay, but offensive or low-quality photos will not be used.

SENIOR AD SUBMISSION WILL OPEN FOR THE 2023-2024 YEAR IN AUGUST, 2023

Senior Ads or Friendship Ads are a great way to congratulate your senior and show off more gorgeous senior photos! Remember those fantastic shots with props and pets that you can't use as a senior portrait? Want to show off photos of your child and their lifelong friendships? This is where they go!

Senior Ads were due by 4pm on December 16th, but we extedended sales through January 20th. Please confirm that you also pre-ordered a yearbook on Bend LaPine's Touchbase system under your student's name to make sure your senior will get a copy of the yearbook and see your ad!

TWO OPTIONS FOR CREATING YOUR SENIOR AD:

1. You can send an email to [email protected] . Attach the photos and personalized message you want in the ad, let us know what size you’d like to purchase, and a student will create the ad. Payment options (by check or online) will be emailed back to you and you’ll have a chance to approve the ad before it is printed. Please choose your photos and craft your message carefully before sending your email. We will not be able to switch out photos or change text once we have begun the design process. If you would like to experiment with different configurations, we encourage you to use the Herff Jones ad designer program instead.
