Welcome to MONTGOMERY
Welcome to the Montgomery High School website. Our school is located in Santa Rosa , California and we are an International Baccalaureate High School.
We are one of five comprehensive high schools in the Santa Rosa City School District. We have approximately 1900 students with 120 staff members. Our school is known for its strong academics, extra-curricular offerings, and strong scholar-athletic teams. We believe in relationships, relevance, and rigor. We strive to know our students well, have challenging curriculum that is relevant to the world we live in, and support each student to stretch his or her capabilities so that each student has expanded choices after high school. We are the Montgomery High School family, which includes staff and alumni since our opening in 1958. The Viking tradition continues to provide a strong high school experience for youth. GO VIKINGS!

Senior Parent Ads – Due Friday, October 1 st , 2010
More information and an order form for senior parent ads are in the Messenger and here. Order forms will be available on campus as well. Parent ads continue to be a vital part of the Montgomery yearbook. We encourage you to keep up this wonderful tradition, and take advantage of the enduring forum the yearbook presents to tell your senior how you feel about him or her.
Senior Portraits - Due Friday, October 29th, 2010
You may use any photographer you choose. If you have not done so already, we encourage you to schedule your session as soon as possible, to ensure that your photo will be completed in time for inclusion in the yearbook. You should clearly determine with your photographer who is responsible for submitting the photo to the yearbook.
We do accept non-traditional or amateur portraits, but we reserve the right to request an alternate photo if we deem a submission inappropriate or of insufficient photographic quality. All school guidelines regarding unacceptable drug, alcohol, sexual, or gang-related content should be followed.
Senior portraits are due in to the yearbook by Friday, October 29 th , 2010 . If you do not submit a portrait, you will not be featured in the senior section. Please spell your name exactly how you want it to appear in the yearbook when you submit your portrait. Write your name on the back of any hard copies submitted, and on any CDs submitted. If emailed, be sure to name the photo “last name, first name.”
Portraits shot digitally should be submitted to us as a JPEG file, at 300 dpi for a wallet size photo. In the environmental interest of using fewer CDs, you may email it as an attachment to us at montyportraits@gmail.com , or you may submit it on a clearly labeled CD to the yearbook basket in the main office. (Photos embedded in Word documents are useless – please do not submit these.) Traditional hard copy photos printed from a film negative, not from a digital file, are acceptable too. Formal portraits should follow these guidelines:
• Wallet size (larger is okay, but not necessary)
• Head size approximately 1 ¼ inch
• Color
• Vertical orientation
We will provide a free yearbook-only photo session for those students who do not purchase a senior portrait. We want every senior in the senior section. Check here for the date when announced.
Business Ads – Due Friday, November 19 th , 2010
If you are interested in placing an ad for your business, these are due November 19 th . Please call the yearbook for more information on rates, etc.
As always, the Valhal staff thanks you for your support, and hopes you have a great year.
