![In room 4101, Natalie Patterson ‘26, Ariana Magor ‘25 and Celina Salazar ‘25 create a poster in science teacher Kerry Reilly’s Chemistry Honors April 18. The three completed a worksheet and drawing to explain the implosion of a tank for their unit on gas laws. “At the start of class, we watched a video of the tank imploding,” Patterson said. “I think [making a drawing] is something new. I like more artsy activities.”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/IMG_5019-1200x900.jpeg)

The Jags played against the Castle View Sabercats at the Douglas County Stadium and scored 3-0 W. “It felt really good [to beat Castle View]. I feel like that was a big win for us because knowing that we came together to beat a pretty good team has definitely given us some leverage for this season,” attacking midfielder Grace Rossner ‘24 said.](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/DSC_4906-1-1200x1057.jpg)

Lamb, who has been teaching for 27 years, decorates her classroom with posters and handmade college flags from her senior students. Everything I enjoy about English happens primarily in the classroom, Lamb said. So, thankfully, the college [I worked at] had a teaching program, and I was able to do my post-grad work for free while I was working [there].”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/IMG_1158-1200x900.jpeg)

Senior Portraits
Many families take senior photos the summer before their senior year of high school. The editorial board of the Black & Gold Yearbook is committed to ensuring every student has the opportunity for a free, professional photo in the yearbook. As such, the Black & Gold works with two photography studios to manage the nearly 600 senior portraits for the panel pages in the 2024 volume of the yearbook: Keepsake Photography and Monty Nuss Photography.
Seniors must have their photo taken by one of these photographers for their portrait to be in the book (see free day options for these photos below). Each studio has created specific opportunities for Rock Canyon seniors.
This exclusive photographer process is for senior yearbook photos only. Students are still able to use personal photos of their choice for all other purposes–senior tribute ads, graduation announcements, etc.
Seniors who do not schedule an appointment at the Keepsake or Monty Nuss studios will need to attend one of the FREE yearbook days in room 4113 at the school in August, September and October in order to ensure they will be included in the 2024 yearbook.
In the meantime, both studios have created opportunities for families to begin getting senior portraits taken for the 2024 Black & Gold Yearbook. Please use the links below to see options from Keepsake and Monty Nuss for seniors. PDFs of each studio’s Senior Magazine are also linked on the school website.
