During Senior Night, seniors were given flowers and the opportunity to walk out and take pictures with their family as their future plans and favorite memories were announced over the speakers. The Jags tied 0-0, losing the Continental League Championship. “We were obviously the stronger team but just couldn’t find a way to score, but otherwise our connection and our intensity was really high so I’m proud of that. We just have to find the net,” defense midfielder Clara Geuzaine ‘24 said. “[Losing League] wasn’t the best. It’s better than last year and like, I know our team and we are doing really good. I don’t want to jinx it but like hopefully [we’ll do] good [in playoffs].”](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/Copy-of-DSC_4277-1-1200x868.jpg)

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 Jaguar student section sits down while the girls basketball team plays in the Great Eight game at the Denver Coliseum against Valor Christian High School Feb. 29. Many students who participated in the boys basketball student section prior to the girls basketball game left before half-time. I think it [the student section] plays a huge role because we actually had a decent crowd at a ranch game. I think that was the only time we had like a student section. And the energy was just awesome, varsity pointing and shooting guard Brooke Harding ‘25 said. I dont expect much from them [the Golden Boys] at all. But the fact that they left at the Elite Eight game when they were already there is honestly mind blowing to me.](https://rockmediaonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/IMG_7517-e1716250578550-900x1200.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.
