Hey Tides

Just a quick reminder that School Pictures will be taken on Monday, Sept. 8th, throughout the school day. If you had the opportunity to get your picture taken on August 19th you're all good! All remaining students should plan on having their photo taken for their school ID and for the yearbook.

If you are a Running Start student and haven't had your picture taken, please come to the school between 8:00-1:30 to get that done. Photos will be taken in the Aux Gym.

Please note, these photos are used for identification purposes. Students will need to dress in school-appropriate attire, and students will not be permitted to wear hats in their photo.

If you would like to order picture packages to preserve your high school memories and to share with your friends and family, please visit https://www.prepaysystems.com/view/3RVs_PoW/gig-harbor-high-school to purchase.

Hey Tides

What are you doing on Tuesday, August 19th? You’re coming to the high school to get your school photo taken, of course!

We would like to have as many of our students come on Tuesday to get their school photo taken before the start of the school year. Having your school ID in hand before school starts will also make it easier to get into the Fishbowl on Saturday, September 6th!

Tides 101 will be happening from 9:00-Noon and Freshmen will have the opportunity to get their picture taken then. 10th-12th grade students can come between the hours of Noon-3:00 to get their photo taken.

Are you wanting to order school photos? Use the following link: https://www.prepaysystems.com/view/3RVs_PoW/gig-harbor-high-school to prepay for your order.

If you’re unable to get your photo taken on August 19th your next chance will be on Monday, September 8th.

See you on Tuesday!
