Transcripts
The transcript is the official school record of the student’s grades and standardized test scores. It is usually required with college applications and is often required for employment or scholarship applications.
Per school policy, all transcript requests must be submitted in writing for security reasons. This includes hand delivery to the Registrar in the Counselor’s Office or submission via the US postal system. Email and phone requests cannot be honored. Transcript requests cost $2 each* (cash or check made out to Springfield Catholic High School). The Transcript Request Form is available in the Counselor’s Office or you may download it here. Transcript requests will be processed within 48 hours of receipt.
*Current SCHS students are not charged the $2 processing fee
Please send the SCHS Transcript Request Form along with your payment to:

"Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings" - C. Archie Danielson
It is not universally understood that academic eligibility in high school or college is not always equal to academic preparedness. A student can be eligible to compete on the field or court, yet be unprepared to compete in the classroom. A student can be eligible to graduate from high school, yet be unprepared academically to enroll in the college of his or her choice much less graduate from that college.
Success in a college classroom is directly linked to the type of academic preparation a student-athlete has received at his/her high school. That is, it is extremely important to select the right courses in high school. A college-preparatory curriculum is best if it is offered.
