Class of 2024 - Senior Information

YOU'VE ALMOST MADE IT! 

• The Senior Sunset Cookout has been moved to Wednesday, May 22nd @ 7:00 on the football field to avoid conflicts with baseball. If you/your parents are unable to provide what they signed up for on Wednesday, we completely understand. Just let me know, and we’ll make sure to have it covered!
• Graduation practice is Friday morning at 9:00 on the football field. This is mandatory and will be very important for you to understand what to do on Saturday. 
• iPads & chargers MUST be turned in to the front office before graduation practice. You will not be able to participate if this step is not taken care of!
• The Ceiling Tile Painting Party will immediately follow Graduation Practice on Friday in the Commons!
• Graduation is Saturday morning at 9:00 on the football field. Please be here by 8:30 dressed in your cap & gown ready to line up. Remember - no decorated caps.

Graduation Photos: 

• Strawbridge Studios will be at graduation on Saturday to take photos of every senior as you receive your diploma. They will also take some candid shots as well. These will be available for purchase from their website, and you will receive the code at graduation practice.
• Individual photos will remain available on their website for purchase. This includes both your yearbook photo and your cap & gown photo. 

Transcripts: 

• Many of you have been calling or stopping by to request final transcripts for your jobs and/or schools. Please note that grades will not be finalized until ALL students finish taking exams so final transcripts will not be available until the end of next week at the earliest. 
• Also, please note that I will automatically upload final transcripts to Common App for students who used that platform to apply to the school they are attending. You do not need to come in and get a copy to send. We take care of that for you. 
• If you did not use Common App to apply, you can request a transcript be sent to any college or university in North Carolina through the CFNC Application Hub (not necessary if Common App was used). No need to come in and get a paper copy. 
• For out-of-state schools not on the Common App, please email me.
• If you have taken classes at Surry Community College, you will need to log into your MyKnightLife portal and order a transcript to be sent to the school you are attending. I would do this as soon as possible so they have those credits documented before you attend your orientation session or attempt to register for classes.

• MAHS Transcripts: There are 3 ways students can have high school transcripts sent to colleges and universities: 
  • Common App (automatic) - If you applied through Common App, add Mrs. Henson as your Counselor, and your school report/transcript gets sent automatically. (If you can see that your school report has been sent, then your transcript has been sent also.)
  • CFNC (in-state / not automatic) - for any NC school that you applied to outside of Common App (CFNC, school website, etc.), use the link in the CFNC Application Hub to have your transcript sent. This is not automatic, you must use the REQUEST TRANSCRIPT button for each school. 
  • MAHS Website (out-of-state / not automatic) - For out-of-state schools not on the Common App, use THIS LINK to have your transcript sent. 

• Surry Community College Transcripts: If colleges are asking for your Surry Community College transcript, you have two options: 
  • If they need an official transcript, you will need to 
  • log into your MyKnightLife portal
  • Scroll all the way to the bottom right
  • Select “Request an Official Transcript”
  • In the top box, use the link that says “Order Your Transcript Online”
  • Follow the instructions to send your transcript (there will be a charge)
  • If they will accept an unofficial transcript, you can find that in the same place 
  •  log into your MyKnightLife portal
  • Scroll all the way to the bottom right
  • Select “Request an Official Transcript”
  • In the bottom box, use the link that says “Request an Unofficial Transcript”
  • Follow the instructions to see/download your transcript and then just take a screenshot (you can take a screenshot on your iPad automatically by using the camera button on the top center of your keypad)
  • You can either upload it into your university portal if that option is available or email it to your assigned university admissions counselor.
