• Students must complete a "Transcript Request" form for each school no less than 2 weeks prior to their application deadlines. Please note: The Guidance Department must have a "Records Release Form" (received by the student at the senior meeting OR can be downloaded) signed by the parents before any transcripts may be sent.
