Quick Tips

In order to be featured in the Senior Section of FPC's Yearbook, pictures must be taken by CADY. The FPC Yearbook Senior Section will include two different poses from your CADY sessions: one formal yearbook and one casual pose of your choice.
    
Please note that pictures taken with private photographers will NOT be included in the FPC Yearbook.
    
You may schedule senior pictures at the Jacksonville or Orlando studio locations if you wish for a more personalized experience. The cost is the same. If you’d rather take your photos at FPCHS, photographers will come to FPCHS.

Senior Painted Parking Spaces

The Senior Class is thrilled to announce that Flagler Palm Coast High School will continue with senior painted parking spots!

Allowing senior students to paint their own parking spots is a great way to improve school pride and friendships. We encourage students to express themselves through positive artwork to beautify the campus, to build school spirit, to create a tradition, and to support Senior Class activities and events.

Requirements: Seniors must maintain a 2.0 GPA and have no more than five level 1 referrals and NO level 2 or higher referrals during the 2025-2026 school year. If this is not met, your spot will be painted over and forfeited. 

More Details coming soon for the Class of 2026!

Please visit the Guidance and Scholarships pages to access resources and information about college financial aid and scholarships.
