High school students who live in Pelham or who move to Pelham and wish to transfer to PHS should contact the PHS College and Career Counseling Department to obtain a New Student Information Packet. This packet contains registration information as well as a list of essential records and other documents required for enrollment in PHS. New students should also schedule an appointment with a school counselor to complete the scheduling process. During this appointment, the school counselor will review the transcript(s) from the other school(s), discuss the remaining graduation requirements, and make recommendations and suggestions regarding a course schedule.
The administration will make a determination on transfer of credit on all courses taken, grades earned, and equivalent credits earned by the student to a PHS transcript. All courses, grades, and credits earned at PHS will be added to the transcript thereafter. High school curricula and course leveling systems differ greatly from school to school. Due to such complexity, it is difficult to obtain an accurate assessment of grades from previous schools; therefore, only classes taken at PHS will be included in a student’s grade point average (GPA). Students will not receive a rank in class until they have completed four (4) semesters at PHS.
All prospective students and their parents should feel free to contact the PHS College and Career Counseling Department to obtain additional information regarding the transfer of a student.
