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.
2020-2021 Yearbook Distribution
The 2020-2021 Yearbook Distribution was set up as a drive-thru event Tuesday, August 31st, and Friday, September 3rd, but it's not too late to pick up your book! Last year's seniors and underclassmen can pick up their book from the Attendance Office between 8am-3pm on school days.
Bring a printed copy or a screenshot of your receipt from Touchbase. If you have not yet purchased one, there are a few available but they must be purchased through the website. Remember to sign in as the student to purchase a book or see your receipt.
If you need someone else to pick up your book, they must have a copy of your receipt (printed or screenshot).
2021-2022 Yearbook Information: Purchasing a Yearbook
The Early Bird pricing for the 2021-2022 yearbook starts Sept. 8th for $55 and can only be purchased online using your student's account in the district's payment website, Touchbase. After December 1st, pricing goes up to $65 per book. Make sure you sign in using your student's login and password. Your book is only guaranteed if you pre-purchase!
UPDATE: Pre-Purchases were closed January 24th, but if you missed out keep an eye on the announcements. We will have some books available in the spring once the printed books arrive. Online sales will open again and books will be sold on a first come, first serve basis. Once we are sold out, we are sold out!
Yearbook updates concerning sales, distribution and more can be found in the daily announcements, on this website, our @SummitInsider Instagram account, and Summit's Facebook page.
Senior Photos
SENIOR PHOTOS ARE DUE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1ST!
REQUESTING A NAME CHANGE
If you use a nickname or have a preferred name and/or pronouns that are not in Synergy but you'd like them printed in the Yearbook, please fill out this Name Change form. 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. We can, however, change your name moving forward once you've submitted the form.
SUBMITTING SENIOR PHOTOS
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.
Senior Photo Requirements:
- 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.
- Full color (No black and white or sepia tones)
- In focus and only lightly edited
- Vertical orientation, not horizontal. Please do not submit tilted photos.
- 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.
- Photos should only contain the senior (no friends, pets, props, etc.)
- No selfies
- 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.)
- The name of your file should be your last name_ first name_ 2022.jpg. (Example: Smith_Joaquin_2022.jpg)
- 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 Purchasing
Senior AdS Due december 17, 2021
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 are due Friday, December 17th. 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.
OR
2. You can create and purchase your own ad online at Herff Jones** This is the best option for you if want to experiment with different pictures and play around with the layout.
