Freshman for the BIG win this week!
Our of approx. 900 entries SHS Freshman took home top awards at the MOPA!
Since 2006 the San Diego MOPA has held a youth photography exhibition to showcase the photographic talents of San Diego and Tijuana students (ages 4-18). This year’s theme asked students to creatively interpret the theme “Dreams”. The jury selected from over 840 entries to curate an exhibit of 100 youth photos and videos. Two of our freshmen students (Paige Wisely and Lindsey Tattoli) were selected to exhibit their work in the museum in the Fall.

DO YOU NEED TRANSCRIPTS: SENIORS!
As you are getting ready to celebrate your senior’s graduation from Serra, you must also make sure that their Final Transcripts are sent to the college or university that they will be attending in the fall.
The “Senior Final Transcript Request Form” is now available in the counseling office. Instructions are on the form. All transcripts mailed to the colleges will be official and will be mailed to arrive before the July 1st deadline.
If your student attended a San Diego Community College a transcript must be requested directly from them. Instructions for doing that are available in the counseling office.
Listed below are some quick tips to make sure that the form is filled out correctly.
Only one form is needed. There is space to request 8 transcripts. The transcript(s) need to be mailed using a Serra envelope. One envelope for each transcript is needed. Envelopes are next to the forms.
If the college or university needs a final high school report filled out, please print it and include it with your request.
Please make sure that the envelope is addressed correctly. We are suggesting that your student uses MSWord to address the envelope. Print their name and birthdate on the inside flap so if the envelope gets separated from the form it can still be processed.
Paperclip the form to the envelope. Please do not staple form or insert form in the envelope. Please do not seal the envelope.
Return the completed form to the counseling office.
For your convenience we have created mailing labels for the following colleges:
