Transcript

The grades you earn are very important!  Starting in 9th grade, your final grades in all of your courses are recorded on your transcript.  A transcript is a snapshot of your high school years. Colleges will require a copy of your official transcript because they want to see the grades you earned in all of your classes. This transcript will be an important part of your record if you plan to join the military or the workforce as well.
