All high school students receive a transcript detailing the courses taken and the grades/GPA and credits earned for each of those classes during high school. The transcript is always the primary document requested to verify the completion of high school—rarely is the actual diploma requested. 

Advantages of receiving a graded transcript and a GPA:

• Required for college entrance for private and out-of-state colleges and universities
• College scholarship applications require a transcript and GPA
• Credits and grades transfer to any public or private high school
• Military recruiters and sometimes employers require a transcript
• Auto insurance companies give rate reductions for meeting a specific GPA
• Transfers credits to any other high school should you leave CVA
• Contact your CVA teacher or CVA counselor to request a copy of your transcript
