This portrait of the senior class will appear in the 2024 edition of the yearbook. All seniors will report to class and wait for an announcement over the public address system.

Seniors who are part of a virtual learning network or full-day Lehigh Career and Technical Institute or participate in a morning LCTI program are welcome to join for the photo. Students will be transported to LCTI 11 a.m. on the normal midday bus. LCTI students will wait in the library until the photo is taken. VLN students may be dismissed when done.
