Before a transcript can be requested, a Transcript Release Form must be signed by the student and parent and submitted to the school.  Please contact Student Services secretary Vicki Wagner if you have questions about the form. 

Once the Transcript Release Form is on file, please follow the detailed instructions below for requesting transcripts.  *Note that there are different ways to request transcripts whether you are a current PNHS students or a PNHS alumni.  The transcript request process may also vary depending on the purpose of the request.* 

Counselors will review transcript requests with senior students during Senior Group Guidance in early September.  Transcript requests will be processed after Labor Day. 

All current PNHS students must request their transcripts (official or unofficial) through Naviance.  There is no fee to process transcripts through Naviance.

Can I use SENDedu to send my transcripts?

PNHS only uses Naviance to send transcripts for current students.  We can NOT send transcripts through SENDedu.

Can I use Parchment to send my transcripts?

PNHS only uses Naviance to send transcripts for current students.  PNHS does use Parchment to send transcripts for alumni, but NOT for current students. 

PNHS alumni and former PNHS students who need a transcript for a college or for personal use should request a copy through Parchment, a third-party company.  Parchment charges a fee to process transcripts and requires a credit card for payment.  Each student will have to create a "New Learner" account with Parchment.
