Senior Section

You are welcome to work with any photographer you wish to take your senior portrait.

Our school photographer will also be conducting a senior portrait day at UHS when we return in the fall. This day will consist of brief portrait sessions when all seniors will be photographed. Like a typical school picture day, these photos will be available to purchase, but there is no sitting fee if you do not order photos. We will use the photo from this portrait day if you do not submit another portrait.

Please note the following if you plan to take and submit your own portrait:

• Head and shoulders portraits, close-ups, and 3/4 length portraits are all acceptable.
• The layout for the senior section uses a portrait (tall) orientation, not landscape (wide), for photos. If you submit a landscape photo, we will crop it to fit the layout.
• The yearbook is a school publication; please make sure that your outfit complies with the school dress code.
• Props are permitted in photos; however, fellow humans are not considered props.
• Any photo taken with modern technology will be big enough for us to use! The absolute minimum is 800 x 600 pixels (approximately 5.25 x 4 inches at 150 dpi), far lower than even a photo taken with an older smartphone.
• All portrait prints or digital files should be submitted by Friday, October 30, 2026. The following week, the yearbook staff will begin creating the portrait section in anticipation of their first deadline for page submissions. We will do our best to accommodate late submissions, but cannot guarantee that submissions received after October 30, 2026, will be included in the yearbook.

If you have any questions about senior portraits or quotes not answered above, please email spartanyearbook@uxbridge.k12.ma.us, but be aware that this email may not be monitored consistently over the summer vacation.

• You can select all the activities you participated in, or choose a few that were most meaningful to you. These will be printed in the yearbook along with your photo and quote. 
• If there is an outside of school activity that has been a meaningful part of your life during your high school years, or if you participated in an activity that we missed on our list, add it in at the end of the list.

Guidelines:

• Character limit: 150 characters. This includes the attribution. 
• Quotes may not include: profanity, references to illegal activities, misattributions, timestamps, cryptic abbreviations, or social media handles.
• Please proofread your quote before you submit it. Do not expect the yearbook staff to correct your spelling, punctuation, or capitalization. 

All quotes will be reviewed for appropriateness by yearbook staff and administration.

If your quote is deemed inappropriate or does not fit the guidelines above, it will not be included in the yearbook. You will not be contacted to provide an alternative, so choose wisely.

Ideas for Senior Quotes:

1. Quote someone else. 
   If you quote a poem, book, song, movie, athlete, celebrity, etc., include quotation marks around the quote and include the source for the quote. These count toward the 150 character limit.
2. Share an original thought.
3. Thank important people in your life.

• We consider a "baby picture" to be a photo of you before you entered school.
• You are not required to submit a baby photo if you do not wish to. The format of the senior section will not draw attention to students who did not submit a baby picture, just feature photos of the students who did submit one. 
• Smartphone photos of print photos sometimes make it harder to recognize our baby seniors! The yearbook staff can scan your printed baby photos and return them to you, which can reduce glare, distortion, and shadows that sometimes occur when taking a photo of a print photo.
