Re: Important senior information and dates
There are two mandatory senior meetings: one in September and one in April. There is one optional meeting in January. Pay special attention to dates; all students (campus, PSEO, Oaks, VLA) are required to attend mandatory meetings. Seniors are welcome to attend the prom assembly the Friday of prom and pep rallies held for Football Homecoming and Basketball Homecoming. Remember campus dress codes apply.
Senior information is shared here, on announcements at all campuses, and the web page (www.blanchester.k12.oh.us under District Information/ Senior Webpage). We do everything possible to keep you informed but you are responsible for getting information from the web page every Monday.
The senior class composite picture is sold by Fugett Photography. Fugett Photography is our official school photographer. Your senior picture for the yearbook and the composite ONLY must be taken through Fugett. This is to ensure all deadlines and picture criteria are met. If students decide to have senior portraits taken at another studio (their choice to do so), Fugett Photography can be reached at 513.877.2287 to take a sitting picture for $16.
Mrs. DaShannon Lovin and Mrs. Debby Dunn are the senior advisors and may be contacted at the high school with questions.
