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 has arrived! 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. Underclassmen, you can also come by room B132 before or after school to pick yours up (please do not come by during the school day!).
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).

Senior Photos
SENIOR PHOTOS ARE DUE WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 1ST!
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 "Portrait" after entering your contact information.
(Right-click on the link within the PDF file and choose "Open in New Tab" to keep the instructions open while you are using the Herff Jones website.)
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.
- 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.
