Transcripts

The high school transcript is an official academic record that provides a detailed overview of the courses and grades earned by a student throughout high school. Copies of a student transcript can be attained at a school site or electronically.

REQUESTING A TRANSCRIPT FROM THE SCHOOL

Current and former students may request five free official transcripts from the registrar. A service fee of $2.00 for each additional transcript prepared by the registrar will apply. Transcripts prepared by the registrar will be mailed via the U.S. postal service to the colleges, universities, or scholarships of your choice. Photo identification (and other supporting documents) may be required for transcripts made in person.

Transcripts prepared by the registrar may not be tracked and the school cannot accept responsibility for documents sent by the U.S. Postal Service.
