We are so proud of our ILHS Teacher of the Year, Dr Challenger! She is now in the running for the District Teacher of the Year.

Dear Rising Senior Parents and Guardians,
As we begin preparing the 2027 yearbook, we want to remind families of the importance of scheduling and registering with our official senior portrait studio as early as possible.

All seniors who would like to be included in the Senior Portrait Section of the 2027 yearbook must have their portrait taken through our official portrait studio. Registering early helps ensure your student secures an appointment time that works best for your family before sessions begin filling up.

Please note:

Appointment availability becomes limited as deadlines approach.

Students who do not schedule and complete their portrait session by the deadline will not appear in the senior section of the yearbook.

There is no purchase required to be included in the yearbook, only a sitting fee. The studio will provide the yearbook image directly to us.

We strongly encourage families to register as soon as possible to avoid missing out on available appointment dates.

Additional information regarding scheduling, deadlines, and portrait session details will be shared via the Yearbook website. Thank you for helping us ensure every senior has the opportunity to be represented in this special milestone publication.

Please use the following link https://sites.google.com/lcsd.k12.sc.us/ilhsyearbook?usp=sharing or go to the Yearbook HUB website for all yearbook information. https://photopass.cady.com/Senior%20Registration/SRRegistrationIndex
