Summit High School
Welcome to Summit's Publications Info Page!
Summit's newspaper, The Pinnacle, is the student voice of Summit High School. The Pinnacle staff is responsible for all writing, editing and funding for the printed and online versions. Click here to view The Pinnacle online.
Summit’s yearbook, The Peak, is also 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.

2025 Yearbook Distribution
2025 yearbooks were available for pre-purchase from July 1 to December 20, 2024.
We order extra, but these are made available to seniors first on Thursday, June 5th.
The Yearbook will be distributed to Seniors on June 5th during their Senior BBQ. It is recommended that you check your purchase history in Touchbase to confirm you pre-purchased a book. If you did not, seniors may buy a book from the bookkeeper during distribution.
All students (9-12) will be invited to claim their yearbook June 9-10th in the Commons. A table will be set up before school, at lunch, and after school until 4pm. It is recommended that you check your purchase history in Touchbase to confirm you pre-purchased a book. Extra books will be available for purchase for $50 in the business office starting on Monday, June 9th.
Yearbooks must be picked up from the main office by October 1, 2025. Unclaimed books will be available for sale starting October 3rd, 2025. As mentioned in our announcements throughout the year, yearbooks are only guaranteed for those who pre-purchased their book.
We will only hold pre-purchased yearbooks through October 1, 2025, so make sure you claim your book ASAP!

You may pre-purchase your 2024-2025 yearbook starting July 1, 2024. Cost is $50, and the option to pre-purchase will end December 20, 2024.
Books can be pre-purchased online using your student's account in the district's payment website, Touchbase.

2025 Senior Photos
SENIOR PHOTOS WERE DUE friDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 2024
SUBMISSION LINK IS CLOSED. IF YOU DID NOT SUBMIT A PHOTO, SENIORS' SCHOOL PHOTO WILL BE USED IN THE PORTRAIT SECTION OF THE YEARBOOK.
Seniors are encouraged (but not required!) 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. If no photo is submitted, the senior's school photo will be used in the yearbook.
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:
- Photos must be vertically oriented 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 square and 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, hoodies and anything else that obscures the student’s recognizable features will not be accepted. 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 or PNG files at 300 ppi resolution. The image will be printed at approximately 160 x 210 pixels, but this could change based on the template used. It is wise to leave room to crop.
- The name of your file should be your last name_ first name_ 2025.jpg. (Example: Smith_Joaquin_2025.jpg)
- Upload the photo towww.hjeshare.com. Summit’s access code is "skostorm." (Please do not email photos. Varsity Yearbook 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
