TRANSCRIPTS
Students and former students may obtain a transcript by completing a transcript request form. Forms are located at the front desk area of the Guidance Office secretary. Prior notice to the secretary is required before a transcript will be issued. Please allow 24 hours for completion.
EHS students will be issued one transcript free of charge. Each additional transcript will cost $2.00. Before a transcript can be issued, a release form must be signed by a parent/guardian if the student is eighteen (18) years or older, he/she may sign. Final transcripts for college-bound seniors are not automatically sent; they must be requested.
COLLEGE AND CAREER COACHES
El Dorado High School provides students with access to College and Career Coaches. These coaches are wonderful resources for students as they research and decide what college and/or career is right for them after high school. Their offices can be found in the Guidance Office.
