Senior Year Planning - Class of 2025
Yearbook Information
Senior year is filled with memories and milestones as well as important due dates. The Orono High School Yearbook Staff commits to working hard to preserve important moments during the upcoming school year. In order to meet production deadlines and for your items to be included in next year’s book, it is necessary that you provide us with the required items on or before the dates listed. Your son or daughter's picture(s) and your parent ad will not appear in the book if we do not receive the appropriate photographs by the deadlines listed below.
The 2025 yearbook cost is $75.00 (plus tax). We urge students to place their yearbook order in the fall as the price increases after October 31, 2024. Orders can be placed on the Josten's website.
Individual Senior Portrait
Due October 21, 2024
- Full-color, head and shoulder shot
- No hats, props, or busy backgrounds
- Digital photos must be 300 dpi or greater
- If you are unable to provide us with a senior photo, please contact Sarah Cole and the yearbook staff will arrange to take a senior photo of your student.
Baby Photo
Due October 21, 2024
Please submit a baby picture (preferably 2 years or younger) that, if possible, includes only the student. Scanned or digital images are preferred. If you submit a hard copy of the photo, please write the student's name on the back of the photo (softly, so as not to damage the picture) so that it can be returned. Photos will be returned by mail in a self-addressed stamped envelope that you provide.

Class of 2025 Senior Party
Immediately following the graduation ceremony on June 5, 2025, graduating seniors will change into comfortable clothes, say goodbye to their parents and board a bus to an undisclosed location that is filled with a night of fun, food and togetherness. This has been a Spartan Parent Association (SPA) tradition at Orono, and it keeps all the students together and safe the night of graduation.
