Why are all of the Divine Child High School Yearbooks, dating back to 1962, titled Clarion?

As a newspaper might be titled The Daily Bugle, Divine Child High School's first yearbook staff called themselves and their book Clarion. Clarion is the name for a shrill, narrow-tubed war trumpet used in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. When signaling commands, a trumpeter needed to be loud and clear. Clarion may also be used in the form an adjective...to be loud and clear. Clarion" derives from three Latin words: the noun clario (trumpet), the adjective clarus (bright or clear), and the verb claro (to make clear).

While it is just a title, and not a dedication in honor of a historical figure, it is our intent to preserve one of Divine Child High School's oldest and most deeply rooted traditions.

Order a Yearbook

Our yearbooks are produced and sold by Jostens with several available price offers that change throughout the year (see Yearbook Price Offer Schedule). To get the best deals with the most options for you and the school, order as early as you can. Early orders also help us to adjust the quantity of additional books we have on hand to sell at the end of the year.

Next year's Back to School Offers and Online Sales begin July 1st.

What does it mean to be put on a waitlist?

As the end of the year approaches and our remaining inventory of yearbooks gets low, Jostens may add you to a waitlist without charging you until our approval has been given. This does not necessarily mean we are out of books. A waitlist is a preventative measure that allows Jostens to continue lining up order requests without exceeding sales we have made in-person with cash or check. We will approve waitlist orders once we have verified we still have enough to distribute.

Standard orders

If you wish to buy a standard book, you can purchase online at Jostens.com or you can order through the Divine Child High School office with cash or check in a labeled envelope.

Please label your envelope with “Yearbook,” the name of the student that will be issued a yearbook, and the check number if applicable. Cash should be given in the correct amount. Checks should be made out to “Divine Child High School” with “Yearbook” in the memo.

Personalized orders

If you intend to take advantage of Jostens's limited time personalization, icon stamps and/or other add-ons, purchase your yearbook online at Jostens.com.

Personalization means that the student owner's name will be embossed on the cover of the book.

Icons are selected sport and club emblems that are embossed next to the the student owner's name on the cover of the book.

Yearbook Distribution Information

End-of-Year Yearbook Distribution

Your yearbooks will be issued in two sections, and might be distributed separately:

The hard cover books, standard and personalized, containing all fall/winter activities will be issued first.

Seniors are scheduled to receive their yearbooks just prior to graduation weekend or at Senior Lock-In, so that they are available to be signed by classmates.

Underclassmen are scheduled to receive their yearbooks the Friday prior to final exams, so that they are available to be signed by classmates.
An additional 32-page insert containing spring activities are scheduled to be distributed to all students the Friday before final exams; however, we are unable to guarantee this depending on shipping. Should we receive a late delivery, we will notify all students as soon as our shipment arrives.

Required Formal Senior Portraits

Your formal senior portrait is a requirement for use in the senior/alumni class composite poster, Divine Child High School Yearbook, Senior Lock-In IDs, and for other school/athletic recognitions/banquets.

This required formal portrait must be taken by Prestige by Lifetouch and will cost $20.00. You may choose to have additional casual senior portraits taken by Prestige or select other studio/photographers.

There will be two opportunities to have Prestige by Lifetouch take your portrait on location at Divine Child High School. Be aware, the Taylor and Novi locations have both closed. If you wish to avoid travel to the Ferndale or Shelby Twp studios, it is recommended that you sign up for one of these dates. If you are unable to have your portrait taken at the school or wish to have Prestige do a larger portrait package, you will have to schedule your session at the Ferndale or Shelby Twp locations.

Mandatory Dress Code:

Gentlemen – collared shirt, tie, and formal suit coat.

Ladies – modest tops, shoulders covered; no spaghetti straps or tank tops.

Senior Casual Portraits (Optional)

Optional Casual Senior Portraits

The deadline for Senior Casual Portrait Submissions is February 21st, 2025. But don't wait! The start of the school year is the best time for summer scenery. Mid-October might add nice autumn colors to your background. Our yearbook is due for publication before the snow melts.

Submitting a Senior Casual Portrait to be included in the Divine Child High School Yearbook is optional and may be taken by any photographer of your choice. While this form must be completed using the graduating senior’s name, the form can be filled out by a photographer/studio holding the sale rights to your portrait. Because portraits can either be taken in landscape or portrait orientation, we will be cropping them as best we can to fit your image inside of a standard square frame in the yearbook. We reserve the right to exclude portraits we feel are poor quality or inappropriate. Should this happen, we will contact you with an offer to submit a new selection.

Submit Your Casual Portrait

Submit Senior Slideshow Photos

Senior Slideshows and Photo Presentations

Our Divine Child High School Yearbook class does not organize, manage, or produce media related to senior slide shows or photo presentations which are used at on-campus events honoring seniors.

Our only involvement would be to provide the automated collection of personal photographs should the current year's Senior Parent Committee and/or Parent Teacher Organization request it for their own permitted uses at on-campus events. Should we be involved, we will let you know and instruct you to use a modified version of our Casual Senior Portrait Upload Form to submit the photos they will need.

At this time, we have not been requested to collect personal photographs, and we have not been given any special instructions to provide you with.

Student and Staff ID Portraits

Your student and staff ID portrait is a requirement for use in school records, ID cards, classroom seating charts, recognitions, and the yearbook. Other photo packages and offers will be available for purchase.

This required portrait will be taken by Kaiser Studios at Divine Child High School throughout the school day and scheduled during specific classes.

There will be three opportunities to have Kaiser Studios take your portrait on location at Divine Child High School. The first opportunity will be on a date assigned to specific grade levels. The second opportunity will be available for absent students and staff. The third opportunity will be available for students who have missed the first two opportunities or wish to have retakes done.

Dress Code:

Gentlemen – choice of school uniform or collared shirt.

Ladies – choice of school uniform, or modest tops with shoulders covered(no spaghetti straps or tank tops).

For Seniors Only - because we already require seniors to have a formal portrait taken with Prestige by Lifetouch, it has been a tradition we allow seniors to have a fun and silly portrait taken with the consent of a parent. Attire that will not conceal your identity can be creatively funny, but must be modestly appropriate, non-offensive, non-discriminatory, and respectful. Divine Child High School reserves the right to deny this privilege and/or prohibit any questionable attire. Your cooperation will help to ensure this tradition can be enjoyed by future graduating classes.
