The best place always is to go to your high school or your district office. There's two types of high school transcripts; there's official and unofficial. If you're applying to a college or a scholorship you always want to make sure that you're able to give an official. This means it's sealed. It's in an envelope and sometimes your school may stamp it on the back and will actually say this is an official or unofficial transcript. It's important if this is something that you're applying for to make sure that you ask specifically, "Should it be an official or unofficial trascript"? Now if you're out of town and you're not able to get to your high school, many schools will allow you to email them or request your high school transcript in writing. Again, you want to find out what is the specific mandates of your particular high school.
