School Records and Transcripts

Copies of high school transcripts can be obtained by contacting Juliana Reed @253-517-1100. Please leave your name, year last attended, the reason for your request, and where you want it sent to. There is no charge for this service. Student's educational files are no longer kept after the student turns 21 years of age. However, transcripts of grades are permanently stored for 100 years.

Health records are stored at the high school for one year after graduation, then sent to the Fife School District Office to be kept for 8 years. (new law) At this time, we only have health records from the class of 2003 to the present.
