What is the importance of a What is the importance of a High School Transcript?High School Transcript? A transcript is like a report card, it

shows your grades and percentages in each class.

Your high school transcript is submitted to colleges, employment agencies, military personnel and technical schools.

A transcript says a lot about the type of person you are (hardworking, completed assignments, present in class, etc.)

Transcripts cont’dTranscripts cont’d

Many colleges, employment agencies, and military personnel ask to see a copy of your transcript before they meet you in person. If they do not like what it “tells them” about you, it may mean the difference between you getting the job and not getting the job or getting into college or not getting in.

It is a reflection of you on paper!

Grade Point AveragesGrade Point AveragesAt the end of each semester/year you will

receive a weighted and un-weighted GPA (Grade Point Average).

An un-weighted GPA is based on a 4.0 scale:A = 4.0B = 3.0C = 2.0D = 1.0F = 0A weighted GPA gives you an extra point for

each advanced class that you take. For each grade that you receive in an advanced class, you get an extra point.
