class photo

Annual student snapshot

A class photo is a formal photograph of a group of students, typically taken annually at schools.

Students and teachers arrange themselves in rows—shorter in front, taller in back—for a standardized portrait.

The term also covers the resulting prints distributed to families: I found my fifth-grade class photo in the attic.

Class photos serve as nostalgic records, often displayed at reunions or in yearbooks.
