Administration and Counseling will be hosting a Mandatory Fall Senior Meeting for the Class of 2022 on Wednesday, Oct. 6 and Thursday, Oct. 7 in the Auditorium during advisory periods. There are two sessions for spacing purposes. Both sessions will cover the same information. 

Wednesday, October 6 - 9:35am for Seniors with the Last Names A-K in the Auditorium

Thursday, October 7 - 9:35am for Seniors with the Last Names L-Z in the Auditorium

We will be covering important information regarding graduation requirements, answers to frequently asked questions, update on this year's graduation ceremony, and post-high school planning information.

If you have a conflict on the day for your alpha, you may attend the other session. Only attend ONE session.

Attention Senior Families:

In a few short months your senior will graduate from Thurston High School.  Now is the time to commemorate these last days of the high school experience. A great way to do that is through a senior dedication (recognition ad) in the yearbook.  For just $50 (half page), or $25 (quarter page), you can congratulate your senior and honor the “good old days” in a way that he or she will remember for years to come.  

Baby Ads are created directly on the website found below, and directions will be provided 

there. Just click on “Find Your School”, enter Thurston High School, and choose “Senior 

Recognition Ads”. Have fun!

The deadline is February 9th.

Attention Thurston Seniors!

Here are the deadlines and requirements for senior pictures.  Please contact Mr. Roberson with questions: joseph.roberson@springfield.k12.or.us

The yearbook staff must receive the finished photo by December 17th. 

Professional pictures are often of higher quality. Most studios do Yearbook-only photos for around $50. We will use photos from registration if we do not receive a senior photo. 

Senior Photo: Photos need to be uploaded directly to the Jostens website. Visit 

https://images.jostens.com/416835976

Photo Requirements Backgrounds should be a uniform, solid, or neutral color; outdoor backgrounds work as well.  Props, low-cut or inappropriate tops, pets, soft focus or variety backgrounds will not be included in the book. Photos should be portrait style, with the senior facing the camera. Any poses other than this are difficult to crop and will not be included in the book.

Image Size: Copies of photos (from Facebook, for example) may upload, but show up blurry and pixelated. Please do not use them. 

Winter Sport Registration is now open.  If you are interested in joining any of these sports swimming boys & girls basketball, boys & girls wrestling click the link below and get registered.

We handed out paid ASB cards to the students this week.  If your student did not pick their card up they can do it any time next week 10/4 -10/8.  If they did not pay for the ASB card they can do that w/our bookkeeper in the front office any time.  

Yearbooks for this school year (2021 - 2022) are available for sale online! They will cost $60.
