CLASS OF 2027 (RISING SENIORS)

Class of 2027 families, senior year is approaching, and senior portraits are the first step in this important milestone.

CADY, our school’s exclusive partner for senior portraits, has served for more than 25 years with a distinctive approach to senior photography, combining state-of-the-art studios, premier customer service, and magazine-worthy images that truly capture each senior’s unique story.

This elevated experience is not your typical school photo day in the gym. Senior portraits are meant to be different and celebrate a once-in-a-lifetime season.

Please take a moment to submit your contact information using the link below.


CADY will use this information to send you everything you need to know: scheduling details, deadlines, outfit tips, reminders, and other important updates.

Completing this form helps ensure your rising senior is fully prepared and that every senior is represented in the upcoming yearbook.

CLASS OF 2027 Planning Night

When: April 2nd 4:30-6:30pm
Where: Auditorium
Who: Class of 2027 and their Parents/Guardians 
Why: Be Prepared for Senior Year

Senior year is an exciting and busy year but it can also be overwhelming. This evening is planned to give you a jump start on what you need to know to be prepared and avoid the stress. You will learn about postsecondary options, the college going process, financial aid, scholarships, and more.  

The presentation will begin at 5pm; however, representatives from TCAT, Roane State, Pellissippi State, and Centro Hispano will be available at 4:30pm to speak with you and answer questions. They will also be available after the presentation.  

If you have any questions about this event please email Mrs. Kelly: kwkelly@lenoircityschools.net or Mr. Royston: smroyston@lenoircityschools.net

We look forward to seeing you on April 2nd!

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need assistance or have questions about the college-going process. You can contact me anytime at kwkelly@lenoircityschools.net. I am happy to help!
Important FAFSA Information:

Seniors, to remain eligible for the TN Promise Scholarship, your completed FAFSA must be submitted by April 1, 2026. Remember, your FAFSA is complete when both the student and the parent sections are finished and submitted. The FAFSA must be completed in order to receive state and federal aid.
