This Week’s Feature:  End of Year Reminders

             Seniors need to keep in mind that GHS must receive an official request in order to release a transcript.  This request must come via gafutures.org for in-state schools, Parchment for out-of-state schools, or on paper with student signature.  An email is not considered to be an official request.
