Picture retakes will be this Wednesday at the high school. If you are a tech student you need to arrange to take yours either before school or when you return to the high school during 4th hour.

Senior portrait retakes will also be this Wednesday during 1st -4th hours. If you need to take a photo or a retake, you may come in at your convenience to the gym. Oklahoma School Pictures will be set up for you with a separate camera. Again, you will wear you own clothes, so think Sunday best. If you are a tech student, you will have to arrange to be here. You can come before school as they should be set up by 8, or you can come immediately when you are done at tech during 4th hour.
