The due date for senior ads was Friday, Nov. 15. If space allows, we will include senior dedications submitted after the deadline in the order they are submitted. We must have all photographs and payment before the ad will be created.

If you missed the deadline, add your senior to the waiting list here.

Step one – Gather pictures and write your message:

Your message should be approximately 75-100 words in length. The headline will be your student’s first and last name, unless otherwise requested. Gather jpegs, jpgs, tiffs, or pngs or physical photos. Screenshots and live photos are NOT permitted, as they do not reproduce well. Many questions you have will be answered below in the section called “Frequently asked questions about Photo Guidelines.” If you have any further questions, please email thestampedeyb@gmail.com.

Step two – Fill out the contract, upload pictures, and make your payment by the deadline. (Class of 2025 deadline 11/15/24):

Go to the website yearbookforever.com and search for Mitchell High. Click to enter the store and select “Create a Senior ad,” after filling out the contract, upload your photos. Then you will fill out the payment information.

Step three – Wait for your proof:

A proof will be sent to you at the email address on your contract on or before March 1. You will have 5 calendar days to reply to The Stampede regarding corrections and concerns. If we do not hear from you within 5 days, your proof will be final. Please make sure thestampedeyb@gmail.com is not blocked by your email provider. Please don’t worry if you do not receive a proof before March 1. Our ads editors will be working hard to make all the ads by this deadline. Some may be completed sooner, and others may be right up until March 1. Thank you for your patience.

Frequently asked questions about Photo Guidelines:

How do you want me to submit photos? Jpeg is the preferred method of photo submission, but we will also accept prints.  Be certain that you label all prints with the senior’s name on the back and place all photos in a large envelope with your senior’s name clearly written on the outside. Do not send us irreplaceable photographs. Walgreens, Walmart, SAM’s Club, and most local photo counters will convert your photos to jpeg for a small fee.

FOR JPEGS:

The preferred method of photo submission is jpeg. Please name the jpegs according to the order of importance for inclusion on your ad. These numbers will determine photo placement and size on your ad. Jpeg quality is important, so please do not send us blurry photos or extremely small files. They will appear blurry in the yearbook. The Stampede staff will place and crop photos into a layout and submit a proof to you via email.

FOR PRINTS:

1) Please do not send original copies of irreplaceable photos. Every effort will be made to return all pictures in the spring but cannot be guaranteed. Do not send any photos that cannot be replaced. 2) Please label the back of each picture with the student’s first and last name. Also number the photos with the numbers that correspond to the importance of photos on the layout you selected (ex. #1 will be the largest photo on the layout). Place all photos in a large envelope clearly labeled with the senior’s first and last name. 3) Please do not cut photos. We will convert them to jpegs and place them to fit the appropriate size. 4) No collages, please. These do not reproduce well, as the images are too small to see. 5) Deliver all photos by the deadline. Your senior may drop off items in room 517, you may drop off items to the main office and request that the envelope is placed in Susan McNulty’s mailbox, or you may mail your envelope to the school to the attention of Susan McNulty.
