Senior year collections from first day to graduation
Senior year photos get requested again and again: for senior night, the graduation slideshow, the yearbook and the 10-year reunion. A senior year collection gathers them as the year happens, with names attached so nobody has to guess later.

Why it matters
Senior photos scatter just when they matter most
Senior sunrise is on one phone, senior night on another and prom is with the yearbook staff. In May, the person building the graduation slideshow has to collect everything again under deadline.
Ideas for Senior Year Collections
A folder for each graduating class
Name it by class year, like Class of 2027, and nest each milestone inside.
Senior sunrise and first day
Capture the start of the year so the graduation slideshow has a true beginning.
Senior night for every activity
Include band, theater and spring sports, not only football.
Awards and scholarship nights
Save award winners with their names and award titles in the captions.
Childhood photos from families
If your slideshow uses baby photos, collect them in one folder with each student’s name.
Graduation day itself
Keep the ceremony, the walk and the cap toss in a final folder that closes out the class.
How it works with Media Management
Senior Year Collections, step by step.
Three steps
Open a class folder in the fall
Create a folder for the graduating class with nested folders for each milestone you plan to cover.
Upload as each milestone happens
Staff, coaches and yearbook photographers upload batches after each event and add names, dates and tags.
Search the class for every project
Search by student name, event or a description of the photo, preview it and download the size the slideshow or yearbook needs.
Setups vary by school; your demo confirms what yours will use.

Senior Year Collections tips
Track who is missing
Keep a roster handy and note seniors without a good photo. Fill the gaps before May.
Collect family photos early
Ask for childhood photos in winter, not the week before graduation.
Respect opt-outs in the slideshow
Tag photos with use limits so the slideshow builder can spot them, and follow your school’s photo-release records.
Keep the class folder for reunions
Ten years from now, the reunion committee will ask for these photos. Leave them labeled.

Questions
Senior Year Collections questions
Rocket gives each graduating class a folder with the year’s milestones nested inside, filled through batch uploads from staff. Names, dates and captions stay with every photo, so slideshows, yearbooks and reunions can draw from the same set.
Your demo confirms which access options fit your Rocket setup. A simple approach is to have families send photos to a staff contact who uploads and checks them.
No. The collection stays in your library until staff pick photos for a public slideshow, post or display. Each one is checked first.
Set it up before the first day of school so senior sunrise has a home. Pricing is quoted for your school’s setup in your proposal.
