Rebekah Rorick yearbook photo

An upstate New York teenager has reportedly won her fight to get an image of herself with a hunting rifle into her high school’s yearbook.

The Broadalbin-Perth High School yearbook committee objected to the photo, showing senior Rebekah Rorick holding a gun, wearing a camouflage vest, and kneeling beside her pet dog.

“My family has always hunted,” Rorick told local station WTEN. “It’s something I do with my family, and my dog is my best friend. So I decided to put her in the photo. I fell in love with [the picture]. It’s my favorite photo of all time right now.”

The teenage girl and her father, Michael Rorick, took the case before the school board on Monday evening arguing that there is no difference between the senior portrait showcasing her interest in hunting and other portraits showing other hobbies.
