School Photo for ID Card & Yearbook

Nathan Hale High School contracts with district-approved professional photographers, Yuen Lui Photographers, for student photos for student ID cards and yearbook portraits.

Photo Days

Yuen Lui takes photos on site two times at the beginning of the school year. Students are strongly encouraged to get their photo taken on the first day, Raider Day, for their student ID card and to have their photo in the school yearbook.

• Raider Day (the day before the first day of school) – Tuesday, September 1, 2026
  ALL students start off their day by first getting their photo taken before entering the building. Families can pre-order their student’s portraits by going to the 2026-27 NHHS Picture Day page on the Yuen Lui website.
• Make Up/Retake Day – Thursday, October 15, 2026
  This day is for any student who enrolled after Raider Day or for those students who wish to retake their photo for the yearbook or for portrait packages purchased from Yuen Lui. This is the LAST opportunity for students who didn’t have their photo taken for their student ID card and yearbook. Students who already got an ID on Raider Day will not get another ID card on Retake Day.

Student ID Cards

Student ID cards on Raider Day will be available as soon as photo is taken. ASB/activity card stickers for ID cards will be available a week or two after school starts. Students will be notified via the Daily Bulletin when ASB stickers are available for pick up in the Main Office.

All students are encouraged to sit for a photo to get an ID card.

Students who take a photo on MakeUp/Retake Day will get their student ID card the day after taking their photo but only if it is their first time taking a photo. Students issued an ID card on Raider Day will not get a second ID card.

Youth 18 and under are able to ride Metro transit for free. Current school year student ID cards are accepted proof of age in lieu of ORCA cards when boarding a Metro bus.

Yearbook Photo

Yuen Lui will forward photos of students to our Yearbook staff for publishing in the school yearbook. If your student wants to take a new photo for their yearbook portrait, they may do so on Makeup/Retake Day. Visit the Yearbook webpage for the sales windows for the 2026-27 School Year.

Seniors have the option of either using their Yuen Lui portrait or taking one of their own and submitting it to the yearbook website using instructions provided by the Yearbook staff. These photos will be due in December. Please check the Senior Class webpage for details on where to upload photo and deadline.

Purchasing Student Portraits

Parents/guardians who wish to purchase their student’s portrait from any of the photo days may do so online via the Yuen Lui Photographers’ website. Before Raider Day, families are able to pre-order their student’s photo. Print orders will be shipped directly to families’ homes in 3-4 weeks after picture day; digital orders will be sent via email from no-reply@imagequix.com. To place an order after the photo day, families need their student’s ID number to place an order. If you don’t know your student’s school ID number or have questions, please contact Yuen Lui Studio. Packets will be mailed directly to the home of the parent/guardian by Yuen Lui. If your student requires a retake for a portrait package, they should return their full package of portraits on Makeup/Retake Day and Yuen Lui will retake their photo and mail the new portrait package.

Note: Yuen Lui also takes photos of NH sports teams and makes those available for purchase on their website as well.
