Photography Session
As we work with a marketing agency to refresh the school brand, we will conduct a professional photography session on campus Wednesday, April 13 and Thursday, April 14 throughout the day. We will capture images that depict the school dynamic without interfering in the daily activities. The picture library will be used in future marketing efforts, including a new website design.

Uniform for Pictures
We ask parents to help us with the photoshoot by sending students in chapel uniform on both days if possible. If chapel uniform is not possible for both days, please consider an alternate uniform that matches the guidelines and represents the school's visual image. We appreciate your help to make HSES shine!
