CLASS OF 2008 SCHOLARSHIP OFFERS
The Counseling Center is collecting scholarship information for inclusion in the commencement program. All seniors are asked to please report all scholarship offers to their counselor, even the ones they didn't accept. Deadline is May 16th.
 
CLASS OF 2008 SENIOR YEARBOOK PICTURES
Viglione Photography is the official Senior Photographer for the Class of 2009.  In order for a senior to have their senior picture in the yearbook, he or she must be photographed by Viglione at their studio. Please call Viglione Photography at 724-387-2092 to schedule a photo session. Any student who has been photographed must make their selection by September 15th for inclusion in the yearbook.
 
FYI - More information should be on its way. In the past it has been sent directly to your home, thus eliminating the "student delivery problem".  Viglione does offer expanded picture options and packages, but you not under any obligation to purchase them. You are free to get your senior's picture taken at any other photographer of your choosing for their "official" senior picture. (You know the one you give to family and friends, display on the mantel or office and carry in your wallet.) HOWEVER if your child wants to be in the yearbook they MUST get their photo taken at Viglione.
