Updates from Guidance

Seniors- Order your Final Transcript:

Seniors who need their final transcripts sent to a college must place a request using

AC Flora’s transcript service, Parchment. Students can create an account at

www.parchment.com and send a transcript electronically to any college in the United

States. Students can place a request now via Parchment; they should select the option to

“hold for grades” in order to ensure that their final transcript is the one that is sent.

Students should request their transcript to be sent no later than June 12 in order to ensure

processing before the counseling office closes for the summer break. Final transcripts

will be available for sending in June. Click here for parchment reminders.



Palmetto Fellows Eligibility:

If you are a senior who has newly met the criteria for the Palmetto Fellows scholarship or

who is re-taking the SAT and/or ACT April, May, or June in order to potentially qualify

for the Palmetto Fellows scholarship, please contact Ms. Moira Porter in the counseling

office no later than Friday, May 26 at moira.porter@richlandone.org so that she can help you

with the required paperwork. If you previously submitted an application for Palmetto

Fellows earlier this year, there is no need to reapply; this is purely for seniors who have

newly qualified or who are re-taking the SAT or ACT in May or June in hopes of

qualifying.

Guidelines for Palmetto Fellows can be accessed here.

Congratulations to Kaden Todd!

Congratulations to Kaden Todd!

Kaden Todd, a Sophomore Theatre 3H student and Member of the International Thespian Society, has been accepted into the SC Governor's School for Arts and Humanities to study Voice. Kaden just came to Flora this year and has already made a huge impression in the Arts. He lent his vocals to our musical production of Xanadu as Sonny and portrayed 2 roles in the Theatre 3H one-act play Hard Candy. In addition to his work at Flora, Kaden has appeared in many productions locally with the Columbia Children's Theatre, including most recently, Fame. We can't wait to see all of the wonderful things that he will do in the future!
Congratulations to Kaden Todd!
