When Donald Trump, Hermione Granger, and Cher Horowitz are your classmates... Entire senior class dresses in COSTUMES for their school IDs at Michigan high school
- North Farmington High School in Detroit has a five-year long tradition of allowing seniors to wear crazy costumes for their school ID photos
- 95% of the senior class participated, with students dressing like Hannah Montana, the 'No Ragrets' meme, and Woody and Jessie from Toy Story
- The students shared their photos in a Twitter thread that has gone viral and amassed over 15,000 likes
Senior portraits typically feature students in their most stylish outfits and last-minute hair-cuts, that years later may become embarrassing high school tokens.
But one Detroit, Michigan high school celebrates an unconventional tradition, in which students trade fancy outfits and cheesy smiles for full-fledged costumes on senior picture day.
And the results outshine even the most creative Halloween outfits, as students at North Farmington High School recently showed up to pose for their school IDs as uncanny Donald Trump impersonators, Harry Potter lookalikes, real-life cartoons, and viral memes.

Despite the hilarious results, for these seniors, picture day is no laughing matter: It's the result of meticulous planning and preparation.
'I personally started during the summer and had my mom and aunt help make it. Other kids brainstormed ideas based off last years senior IDs. And even some did it the day before!' Gabriela Sgambati, 17, revealed to Daily Mail Online.
Gabriela, the senior class president, reenacted a scene from Disney Channel's Hannah Montana in her ID photograph, in which the character Miley Stuart embarrassingly reveals her fully-grown armpit hair.
'I loved Hannah Montana as a kid and wanted to do something involving her. I scrolled through episodes and came across this scene thinking about how hilarious it is!' she added.
'All around school people come up to me and ask if I've shaved my armpits which is hilarious to me. I love joking around with it and seeing how everybody has seen it,' she shared.
Her peers showed up in creative costumes of their favorite characters as well, including a convincing Hermione Granger, Clueless' Cher Horowitz, Family Matters' Steve Urkel, and Breakfast at Tiffany's Holly Golightly, who arrived with coffee and croissant in hand.

'The tradition is about five to six years old,' Gabriela revealed of the wacky photo's origin.
'Originally, people just did wacky faces or hair. But within the last three years people started dressing up as their doppelgangers or favorite celebrities,' she added.
North Farmington High seniors also came in as their favorite artists from Hannah Montana, Katy Perry from her music video Last Friday Night, and rapper Metro Boomin.

'I planned my outfit about two weeks before picture day because people always tell me I look like Hermione. I bought the costume pieces and I really wanted it to be perfect. Everyone at school loved it and they thought the resemblance was incredible,' she told Daily Mail Online.
'We all were in costume, so it was just really fun to see everyone pull theirs off. I was not expecting it to go viral at all so I was kinda shocked when we did,' she added on her class' sudden rise to fame and added that the Clueless' Cher costume and Friends' Monica in Barbados costumes were her favorites.
Other teens decided to immortalize their favorite viral memes and vines, including the teen that burned her hair off while filming a hair curling tutorial, the little girl that went on a cotton candy sugar-high rampage at a baseball game, and the famed 'no ragrets' meme from We're The Millers.

But what was just a fun prank for the students quickly spiraled into a viral sensation and the seniors are excited with their sudden star treatment.
'As senior class president I'm totally shocked by the reaction. It's always been popular in our school with the excitement around senior IDs. I'm proud of how fun and the amount of participants this year. We kept it fun and school appropriate,' Gabriela said.
About 95 per cent of the senior class participated in the stint and the students are grateful to their advisor and principal for keeping the creative tradition alive.
Some seniors even breathed life into cartoon characters such as Tina from Bob's Burgers, Boo from Monster's Inc, Dora the Explorer, and the Wendy's food chain's red-headed logo girl. One power duo even dressed up as Woody and Jessie, the cowboy dolls from Pixar's Toy Story.
