Counseling Office
Seniors – Final Transcripts
If your student is a current senior, they MUST request that a final transcript be sent to the college of their choice using Parchment no later than June 24. Requests can be made now using the “hold for grades” option. This puts the request in a queue to be sent out as soon as transcripts have been finalized. Feel free to call the Counseling Office at 591-6647 if you have any questions. Please know that the office cannot send the transcript for your student. It must be requested through Parchment.
Scheduling
Students will receive their schedule for the 2018-2019 year during orientation, August 23-25. Schedule changes before the school year starts are very difficult to make and schedules will be adjusted for the following reasons only:
- There are less than 6 classes listed for each semester.
- The schedule is lacking a graduation requirement.
- The schedule needs adjustment because of a successful completion of a summer school class.
- The student did not meet the prerequisite to take the class.
College Visits
Summer time is an excellent time to do college visits to colleges that are farther away. It’s also a good time to volunteer for a good cause and build your resume’. The Career Resource Center can provide information on all kinds of summer enrichment programs, volunteer opportunities and job openings. They are located next door to the Counseling Office at East Campus and next to the cafeteria at West.
Summer School
A variety of summer school options will be offered this summer. If a student is behind in credit, this is a great opportunity to get caught up. Information and registration is available on the Grand Blanc High School website. The wide variety of choices can be confusing. Please call your child’s counselor if you have any questions.
ParentVue
Please monitor Student or ParentVue carefully for final grades. Summer school begins on June 15.
Thank you for another wonderful year and have a great summer!

Attendance Awareness Contest
Congratulations to our winners for this year’s Attendance Awareness Contest. This year's winners were Michelle Chen, Charles Kelley and Kennedy Yakich. The contest ran from February 1st through April 30th and students who had 3 or less absences were placed in a drawing. We had 94 students who qualified and our winners were randomly selected by Administration. Thank you to Bobby Maksymowski and The Horace Mann Insurance for their support of our students!
