eSharing is Caring

Are you one of those people who just has an eye for photography? Do you attend EHS events and find yourself snapping professional-looking pictures from a camera or phone? Do you wish that your son, daughter or best friend had more pictures showcased in the yearbook? Don’t hold back any longer! Parents, students and community members can now share their pictures to be used in the 2014 EHS yearbook, Our Story.
The high school has created an eShare account with the yearbook company, Herff Jones. You can go to http://www.hjeshare.com/eShare/Index.jsp from any computer and then type in the school code, “eureka,” all lowercase letters. If you have an Apple product, you can download the app for free on your Smartphone at Herff-Jones eShare, or if you have a Droid, you can download it searching for HJ eShare.
Once you go to the site, you will need to give your consent for EHS to use your photographs in the yearbook and then begin uploading. With each upload, you will be asked to give some information about the photograph. This helps to ensure that our yearbook is free from mislabeling students and/or the time and place of events but still provides the publication with diverse and quality photos.
Please assist the EHS Journalism staff in their goal to have every student pictured in the yearbook! Share your photos, and see them in color in one of the most lasting and important pieces of history for a high school student. Contact Ms. Courtney Lowe at lowec@district140.org if you have any questions.
Below is an example of a photograph that was taken on an iPhone and then uploaded to eShare.
