Colleges/universities normally request a "final" transcript from students who are entering in the fall. Order your transcript now in the counseling office. You will need (1) completed form, (2) $2.00 for each transcript requested, and (3) provide a stamped legal size envelope addressed to the school of choice. DO NOT put your return address on the envelope. We will put THS's address at the return address.

M. Dillon

Seniors please remember that you must let colleges/universities know if you are expecting to earn a grade below a C in any of the classes you entered on your self-reported classes planned or in-progress on your college application. Failure to do so may result in the cancellation of your admission to your campus. Questions? Contact the campus. Some schools/majors expect you to show up with a "similar" GPA as the one you were admitted with. Senior grades do count!
