Need an official transcript?
ATTENTION SENIORS: Now is the time to log onto/create your account at Parchment.com and order your official final transcripts, which will be delivered the week following graduation. These transcripts are free to you until June 30, only. Please note, you must select HOLD FOR GRADES when choosing when to send so they don't go out before your final grades are applied.

City Government Opportunities for Students
High-school-age students can now take an even more active role in their local government. City Council approved last night to allow 9th- through 12th-graders to serve as voting members on four City advisory commissions. The Arts & Culture Commission, Human Rights Commission, Sister Cities Commission, and Sustainability Commission can each have one voting student member, if the student is approved, just like other nominees. Each of the four advisory commissions has at least one vacancy, so if you know a student looking to grow their civic involvement, encourage them to apply for a voting seat today. And remember, ALL boards and commissions welcome advisory non-voting student members anytime, and those seats are always available!
