depends on the district, but you can pick them up by calling the district and asking about archives

The schools themselves should be able to provide you that information. Also, there is usually a county historian or an archive at your local public library.

someone asked the same question a few weeks ago....here's the same answer:  call or write your old high school requesting a copy.  If you can show up in person, bring ID and ask to see someone in Guidance.  Good Luck!

I had to go through this recently too, and it's been 20 yrs that I graduated.  You need to directly call someone from the superintendant of schools and give them the info and they will get it for you.  I intially had someone tell me that the records wouldn't still be around, then when I talked to someone directly over the phone, it wasn't a problem at all.

it depends on where you live at. if you know what the school is, call and ask if they have old copies of the yearbooks.

Yes, it certainly does.  My husband applied to college recently (he's 46) and almost got denied based on his GPA from almost 30 years ago.  Those records from long ago do exist and they are looked at.

All outdated files from a school are still recorded.  Try the main office for that school district.

3 years, even if you go to traffic school you keep one and it does take 3 years. provided that no other violations happen during that time.

Call your high school. They should have a copy in your "permanent file." Seriously. (May cost $ and may take awhile as they may have moved those boxes to storage by now. No offense).

It depends on when you took your ACTs. Depending on the school sometimes they do not accept scores over 5 or 10 years.\n\nIt also depends on how long you were in college before you dropped out. If you have college transcripts of a certain length then they may not require the scores.\n\nTo obtain your old scores call ACT to order your old test scores. You will have a pay a fee for another copy but they keep them on record. Also you could try your old high school they may still have your score on record.

Its probably easiest to go throught the high school records if you really want to know

I used to work in admissions/records and I can tell you that glitches happen often. It does not mean that your record is missing. All major schools have back up servers and databases just in case the worst happens. I recommend you call the school and ask them to fix it, and do not worry!

Contact the school.  They keep updated records to contact former students for reunions, and things like that.

They just want your completed qualifications.  For example, if you have a degree and are studying a graduate diploma, just write your degree.  In your case, write high school, as your degree isn't yet finished.
