A transcript is a record of a student’s academic performance while in high school.  It includes grades, attendance, rank-in-class, and credits earned.  The transcript is prepared by the guidance office and is provided to institutions of higher education, potential employers, armed forces, etc., who request it.  No transcript is provided to any organization or individual unless disclosure is allowed under the FERPA Notification of Rights Policy.  Otherwise, the student or parent/guardian must provide a written release.

There are two (2) kinds of transcripts, official and unofficial.  An official transcript includes the school seal and is mailed from the guidance office.  It is NOT provided to students or parents/guardians unless it is being used as proof of address for permits/and or licenses or is mailed at the request of institutions, organizations, etc. who fear that official transcripts may be tampered with before they are received. Unofficial transcripts are the same transcript without the school seal.  These will be provided to students and parents/guardians upon request, but no one else.
