Senior Information
Senior Pictures
ONLY PHOTOS TAKEN THROUGH LEONARDS WILL BE IN THE SENIOR PORTRAIT SECTION (FORMAL & CASUAL PHOTOS).
Senior pictures will be at ECHS July 9-11. Students should have received a booklet or email from Leonard's with information. They can schedule photos with the access code from the email. If they have a booklet they can scan the QR code on the back to get an access code to schedule pictures. If they did not receive the booklet they can call 800-215-4852 to speak with someone at Leonard's in order to schedule their photos. Photos can also be taken at the Leonard's Port Wentworth studio.
Leonards will be on campus August 22 for one last day of senior photos. If you wish to take photos on this date you will need to schedule with Mrs. Aiken (room 912, taiken@effingham.k12.ga.us) after school starts.
Cap and gown photos are done separately and will be taken on March 24, 2026 this year.
