Records
The Office of Admissions and Records is also responsible for housing the graduate and inactive student permanent records as well as inactive district-wide records as per the state’s records control schedule. Our personnel works closely with universities, colleges, school districts, employment companies, attorney’s offices, state and federal government agencies as well as the entire district that requests records.

Transcript Request
Any graduate from 2013 and before that needs a certified copy of their high school transcript must come to the Office of Admissions and Records. You must present an ID and there is a fee of $1.00. If you are calling from out of town, you will need to fax in a request showing your ID, the year you graduated, a telephone number, the exact address of where you would like your transcript to be mailed and the reason you need the transcript. Non-graduate transcripts may also be obtained from this office.

Note: High School graduate records are kept for 2 years at each high school before they are sent to Admissions and Records for retention.
