Hello Class of 2027 Families!
It is officially time to kick off your SENIOR year! To get things started, we are excited to share the scheduling details for upcoming Senior Portraits.
We have partnered with CADY Studios again this year. To make things as convenient as possible, we have scheduled two portrait days here at the High School on Thursday, July 9, 2026, and Tuesday, July 28, 2026. If your family is traveling or unavailable on our school dates, you can easily schedule a portrait session directly at CADY's Horsham Studio instead.
CADY Studios offers a wide variety of portrait choices to fit every budget, including a free, yearbook-only sitting. Please keep in mind that only portraits taken by CADY Studios are eligible to be printed in the yearbook, and no outside photo submissions will be accepted.
Slots fill up quickly, so we highly recommend reserving your time as soon as possible!

This week, our graduating seniors participated in the "Senior Strut," where they returned to their former elementary schools: Neidig, QE, Pfaff, Richland, and Trumbauersville to walk the hallways and see former teachers.
Seniors were welcomed with cheers, high-fives, and smiles from current students celebrating their upcoming graduation. For some seniors, the day was especially meaningful as they reunited with younger siblings currently attending their former schools. A few even celebrated the occasion with a piggyback ride through the hallways.
These visits provided a wonderful opportunity to reflect on how far our seniors have come and to inspire our youngest learners as they continue their own educational journeys. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

This week, we are celebrating teachers from across the QCSD for Teacher Appreciation Week! Join the celebration and send a kind note to your QCHS teacher, past or present, and we’ll make sure they receive it! You may even see it posted here, like this kind message for Mr. Amen from one of his 10th graders:
“I want to celebrate this teacher (Mr. Amen) because he helped me and many others with struggles and through dark times in our lives. Even when he’s not having a good day himself, he never fails to make others smile. He is a very smart, kind-hearted, and straightforward person, and we all need someone like that in our lives. Anyone who has had his class would say that it was probably the best class they’ve been in because he always finds a way to make it interesting. I thank him for always being there for his students, whom he doesn’t just think of as his students but as a family as well. Whoever is lucky enough to have him in their lives should cherish the moments they have with him because time goes by faster than you think. Thank you for being you.”
