Registrar – Ms. Mack
The registrar, located in Haus Reil, is primarily responsible for evaluating each high school student’s credit totals to determine eligibility for obtaining the US High School Diploma. Every student from grade 9 to grade 12 has a ‘transcript’, an American document on which all grades are printed and assigned both credits as well as quality points. When these credits and quality points are calculated, each student earns a Grade Point Average (GPA). The GPA is cumulative so that the final GPA at the end of 12th grade reflects the student’s entire high school career. If you would like to request an official transcript, please send a written request to the email below. The registrar further assists the high school counselor with university applications and helps plan Graduation.
