FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 

What information is on my high school transcript?  The high school transcript, which may be mailed to colleges or other appropriate agencies, shows semester grades and credits, semester and cumulative grade point averages,  and standardized test scores.  In addition, the transcript shows the student’s attendance record, mailing address, date of birth, social security number,  and other identifying information.

Note:  Transfer students will have separate transcripts for each high school attended.  All high school transcripts will be mailed to colleges upon the student's request.  The formula for calculating the cumulative GPA varies from one college to the other.

How do I send a transcript to a college?   Transcript requests should be submitted to the records clerk in the Counseling Center, preferably one week prior to the desired mailing date.  To be considered "official" a transcript must be mailed directly from CBHS to the receiving party.  A fee is charged at orientation to cover the cost of processing transcript requests.  No further fees are required.

How do I sign up for Driver 's Education?  Driver's Education classes are provided on the  CBHS campus by Pitner Driving School, Inc.  Instruction consists of thirty hours of classroom and six hours of actual behind-the-wheel driving.  Check the dates on the CBHS calendar for "Driver Education Registration Week" -- usually the last week in October for the November session and in March for the spring session.  Registration forms are available at 7:30 AM in the Counseling Center the first day of registration week.    Applicants must be at least 15 years old or older either before or during the two-week classroom period of Driver's Education. A learner's permit is not required for enrollment.  Students may register themselves with a check made payable to CBHS.  Registration is on a "first come, first served" basis.  The class fills quickly.  Notices will appear in the daily bulletin prior to registration.

Does my Driver's Education grade count in my GPA?  Driver's Education grades do not count in the CBHS GPA, and the credit does not count toward graduation.  However, the grade will appear on your transcript if an official grade report is submitted to the Guidance Secretary.

If I can't attend the Driver's Education classes taught at CBHS, where can I find classes that fit my schedule?  Call 767-4704 or go to www.pitnerdriving.com or contact your counselor for other options.

How do I sign up for a Peer Tutor?  The Peer Tutoring Program is designed primarily for students who are having difficulty mastering a subject.  Students may request a Peer Tutor by filling out a "Peer Tutor Request Form" and putting it in Br. Roman's box in the Counseling Center.  Shortly after the request is submitted Br. Roman will match the student with another student who is proficient in a subject.    Students and their tutors meet before or after school.  

How can I make sure that I receive credit for Summer School classes?  CBHS students who attend summer school at another school must notify the Guidance Secretary upon returning to school in the fall. Give her a copy of your report card or if you have no report card, tell her the name of the summer school attended, the course taken, and the grade and credit earned.  

Will the F that I earned at CBHS be removed after I make up the course in summer school?  The F will remain on your transcript, but the summer school grade and credit will also be added to your transcript, thus improving your GPA and credit status. 

Note:  CBHS accepts summer school credits from accredited summer school programs for courses failed during the regular school year.  Students must obtain approval from the administration before enrolling in a summer school program.  Summer school courses for review or preview of material are not accepted for credit at CBHS.
