If student is a Lifer, this photo will also be taken with the traditional cap and gown immediately following their 15 minute portrait session. Parents and siblings are encouraged to be part of this photo if they wish. 

Saturday appointments are prioritized for Lifers in order to give working parents the opportunity to be part of this special photo.  However, LIFERS are not obligated to book Saturdays only, they may book any day that works for their schedule. 

What Is A LIFER?

HCS defines  A lifer as a student who has been privately homeschooled from K/1st grade through 12th grade. Charter schools are part of the public school system, therefore do not qualify for Lifer status at HCS.
