Transcript Orders- Seniors
To order transcripts please visit:~
FYI:
For our 2021 graduates, Scribbles will track the first two transcripts for a 2021 graduate, the first two are free but let's say they fill out the first form online and order 10 transcripts, they will get charged for 8, and 2 are free. They will then be charged for all transcripts from that point on due to the tracking of free ones.
If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Dickerson at: julie.dickerson@hcps.net

EJI Essay Contest
Tampa - Hillsborough EJI Coalition Launches $15,000 Racial Justice Essay Contest
Tampa, FL -- The Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) of Montgomery, Alabama, in partnership with the Tampa - Hillsborough EJI Coalition, invites public high school students in Hillsborough County to enter the Racial Justice Essay Contest and compete for prizes that total up to $15,000.
“We are excited to offer this opportunity for public high school students in Hillsborough County,” said Tampa Councilman Luis Viera who Co-Chairs the Tampa - Hillsborough EJI Coalition. “Understanding the painful Jim Crow era history in our community is an important and powerful step toward repairing the breach.”
Florida State Representative Fentrice Driskell, who also Co-Chairs the Tampa - Hillsborough EJI Coalition further stated, “I am excited by this opportunity to provide our students with the chance to learn and educate others on the truths of our past, for it is only by understanding our history that we will be able to build a future that is more inclusive and just for all people regardless of race or other socioeconomic condition.”
The Rays Baseball Foundation is donating $10,000 of the total amount, with the remaining balance coming from the EJI in Alabama. The contest begins March 22, 2021 and ends June 18, 2021. Contest winners will be awarded their prizes at a July ceremony in Tampa, with the date, time and location to be announced soon.
Public high school students in grades 9 – 12 who are interested should visit Tampa - Hillsborough EJI Coalition Essay Contest website. Details about the contest, including the topics and guidelines are listed on the site. All essays must be submitted to the EJI website by the June 18, 2021 deadline. An EJI panel of judges in Montgomery will select the winners.
