Transcript Requests:
Any graduate or current student needing a transcript must fill out a transcript request form and return it to Mrs. Hashin, Guidance Secretary, in the Career Center. Please note, you need to request a transcript even if you apply online. The guidance staff does not know that you applied online unless you request a transcript, and the staff also does not receive any emails or letters that you receive from colleges or scholarships. All materials including letters of recommendation, activities list, essays, etc. need to be included with your request.
