IF YOU ARE A CURRENT STUDENT:  We currently use an online company, Parchment, that allows us to transfer your transcript to your preferred destination, quickly and securely, with approval from those schools as officially coming from our school.  Please do not pay any fee to parchment online or use your credit card for any reason. the state subsidizes current student requests to colleges and waives this fee for you.  Stop into the Guidance Office to pick up and turn in a one time Transcript Request form and pay $1 in the to get parental permission and make a formal request through the guidance office to request as many transcripts you would like to send to various colleges or universities.
