Seniors! The Echo Yearbook Staff needs your senior pictures! The following guidelines must be met for the photo to be included.

Photographs must be in color and have been taken with a traditional camera. Pictures from a cellular phone become very pixelated and will not appear properly. It must be a “raw” photo. No Photoshop or other editing as photos that have undergone this process are a smaller file size and will not print properly. Photograph must be a head shot. Hands should be down and away from the face so as not to obscure the subject. Top/shirt must have straps.

If an acceptable photo has not been received by January 15, your student ID photo will be used.

Photos may be emailed to dubuquesenior@gmail.com or sjackman@dbqschools.org. Please see any Echo staff member or Mrs. Jackman in room E45 with questions.
