Senior Information
The IL Texas Keller‑Saginaw High School Senior Class of 2027 landing page is your one-stop hub for everything related to this year’s seniors—from event updates and registration links to announcements, yearbook info, and senior resources. It’s designed to keep students, parents, and staff informed and connected throughout the year.
Senior Formal, Cap & Gown Photos - October 6.
This year, our senior cap and gown photos AND formal drape/tux photos will be taken on campus by Lifetouch. Lifetouch will provide everything needed for the photos. It is asked that men wear a solid white t shirt under their uniform this day and ladies wear a camisole or tank top or easy change from one to the other.
This is a little different from how we have done things in the past, so I am calling on my senior parents for help!
We will be shuffling approximately 200 seniors throughout the day and through the gym to take two different photos. They will change for their formal photo, take their pictures, change back into their school clothes, and somehow we are going to keep all 200 of them moving in the right direction. What could possibly go wrong?!
This is where you come in!
We need some extra parent eyes and hands to help us:
- Move seniors through the process
- Make sure hair is picture-ready
- Make sure our gentlemen are clean-shaven
- Check that there are no nose rings or anything else that is not approved by ILTexas
- Straighten bow ties, drapes, gowns, and tassels
- Give them the good old-fashioned parent once-over before they step in front of the camera!
- Use the sign up link to help out!
These photos will be used for the yearbook and our Senior Wall, so years from now, when they look at that picture and ask, "Why did you let me leave the house looking like that?" we would all like to be able to say, "We didn't!"
I know most of you will be tied up with work and other responsibilities, but if you can spare even one hour, we will gladly put you to work. I promise there will be no shortage of seniors who need a bow tie straightened, hair fixed, or a loving reminder that yes, the nose ring really does have to come out, and stay out.
Save These Dates!
August 21 - Seniors-Only Open Gym, 6:15-10:00 p.m.
August 28 - Senior Sunrise, 6:00 a.m.
September - Senior event coming! We are still in the planning stages.
October 6 - Senior Formal + Cap & Gown Photos with Lifetouch
October 8 - Cap & gown order forms go home
October 23 - Mr. Mike Humphry from Jostens will be on campus during all lunches to collect cap & gown and class ring order forms and payments. Parents are welcome to stop by and ask questions! You can also order online when the packets go home.
If your senior already has a cap and gown, you will only need to purchase the stole and tassel.
MySchoolBucks should also be up and running now. You may use that option for senior fee payments, or you can send payments with your senior in installments. If you send payment with your student, we will make sure a receipt is sent home.
And trust me, I have a lot more planned for these kids. Some things I will tell you about ahead of time, some are still being planned, and I am sure a few ideas will magically appear somewhere between now and May!
This year is going to move quickly. There will be big moments, little moments, and "lasts" that we won't even realize were lasts until they are already behind us. There will probably also be a few tears from the adults who insist they are "totally fine."
So soak it up.
Take the pictures. Ask them about their day even when you already know the answer will be "fine." Come to the events when you can. Cheer louder than they want you to. And when they act like they don't need you there, remember that they still look for you in the crowd.
