Buchanan High School Student Services 
Our Mission:  Preparing students for lifelong success.
​

During the current school closure, we will be posting resources related to maintaining your mental health on our website.  Please come back often and check for new postings.  Not all posts will apply to every student, but we want you to know we are thinking of you daily  Please contact us if you need information on a certain topic.

SENIORS - During the school closure, if you need a signed transcript, please contact Mrs. Barlow directly via email.  All colleges will accept an unsigned transcript which you can access via your Parchment account.   Signed transcripts are typically only needed for job applications, recruiters and scholarships. 

​Also, we will be posting updates we receive from colleges on anything related to admissions, applications, deposits, etc.  Please check for updates from the college(s) you plan to attend.

 Transcripts 

Need a transcript?  You must create a Parchment account in order to electronically request your transcript.  The Student Services Office will receive an email notification that you have placed on order.  Once your request has been processed, you will receive an email confirmation.  Using Parchment eliminates the need to create a tracking form thus saving time and money. Once it is approved, your transcript will be immediately available to the receiving institution (college/trade school/university).  Using Parchment also allows you to track your transcript and to confirm when the college has downloaded it for their use.  To learn how to create a Parchment account, click here
