You can speak with your counselor anytime for help and assistance. Credit Recovery can be completed in a class (Study Skills or Directed Studies) or after school in Room 101, daily, from 2:30-5:15 pm. See your counselor for a YELLOW credit recovery referral form if you have not already done so.
Citizenship Points (CPA) Requirements
Students graduating in 2025 must have a CPA of a 2.0 or higher to walk at graduation. You can earn CPA points by volunteering if you do not have a 2.0 or higher CPA. Please see your counselor and sign up for volunteer opportunities in the main office. The class of 2026-2027 and subsequent classes must hold a 3.0.
Pre-Order Transcripts
Seniors, it is time to order your final transcripts. Your transcript is a legal record of graduation, along with your diploma. Please order a transcript to be sent to you after graduation for your records. Also, if you are planning to attend college, you will need to send your final transcript to the college of your choice, or it will delay your second-semester course selection. Please be aware that some colleges will only accept transcripts sent through Parchment.
If you place your order before graduation, you will not be charged, but Parchment charges a fee after you have graduated.
When you order your final transcript, you will also want to change your Parchment email address to one you will use after leaving Cottonwood High School.
