Senior Yearbook Portraits
The official Senior Portrait photography studio for the MCHS yearbook is Keane Photography. If you have not already done so, please schedule your Senior yearbook portrait session now.
You must have your portrait taken by December 1, 2022, to be included in the 2022-2023 yearbook.
Session costs range from $39-$59 depending on the number of pose options chosen. After your photo session, you will review th
e pictures and then let Keane know your picture choice for the yearbook. Keane will then send us the chosen pose to put in the yearbook. You do not have to purchase a portrait package to have your Senior session or to have your portrait in the yearbook.
Keane Studios will offer a no-cost, on-campus session on Thursday, October 27, 2022, during the school day for any Senior who does not want to do a sitting at Keane Studios. This will be a traditional headshot with no choice of pose.
Submissions of photos from other photographers or studios will not be accepted and will not appear in the MCHS 2022-2023 yearbook.

Cap & Gown packages
There are several Cap & Gown packages to choose from through Jostens. The basic
Cap & Gown package includes your choice of tassel as well as the school medallion.
Families can arrange to borrow caps & gowns, through Jostens, at no cost or use sets from previous Mt. Carmel commencement ceremonies provided by an older sibling or friend. Please note that borrowed cap & gown does NOT include the tassel. You may purchase the tassel separately through Jostens. Jostens online ordering ends in mid-April 2023, but we recommend ordering early as their pricing does change as the year progresses.

If you need to borrow a cap/gown/tassel set from Jostens for the MCHS commencement ceremony, you can sign up

How does my student receive the cap & gown set?
All cap & gown units from Jostens are delivered to MCHS in June by the local Jostens reps, and the school staff distributes them to students as part of Senior Activities Week in June during the school day. The cap & gown units comes as a package with all four items and the student's name on the package since the gowns are set to match student height and weight needs.
Graduation Announcements, Jewelry, and Apparel
Jostens also offers a variety of items to commemorate the Senior year, and inform friends and family of your graduation date and time.
Please order your announcements by December 31, 2022, to ensure a timely delivery.

Information for Parents of Seniors who are turning 18 before June 9, 2023
When your student attains adult status at the age of 18 on his/her birthday, he/she is granted by law the right to sign all legal documents related to his/her education and to represent himself/herself in all educational matters. This includes school disciplinary matters, and participating in any serious legal processes such as IEPs or expulsions from school and excusing the student’s absences from school for the five allowable reasons to miss.
This also means that your student will be the sole person in your household receiving phone and email information from the school and school district as the adult contact. Important informational school communications will no longer go directly to parents/guardians. If you and your 18-year-old would like to waive the 18 year-old rights and assign the parent/guardian decision-making authority, the waiver for doing so is listed on our
18-year-old rights page for printing and signature. This signed waiver form should be turned in to the MCHS Administration building to either Nancy Hall or Cecilia Chavez.
Please read more detailed information about 18-year-old rights, rules and procedures and the waiver on our webpage:
