We’re Here to 

 

  • To request a transcript, this form must be completed and signed by the graduate. You may submit the form by email, fax, mail, or drop it off in person at the HHS Guidance Office. Please allow 1–2 weeks for processing. Download a printable form here.

     

  • Huron High School encourages college-bound students to explore their post-secondary options through in-person campus visits. To support this:

    • Seniors may take two excused college visit days per school year that will not count toward their eight-day absence limit per semester.

    • Juniors are allowed one excused college visit day per year, also exempt from the eight-day limit.

    Scheduling & Approval:

    • Students and their families are responsible for coordinating their college visits to align with their personal schedules.

    • Contact the college’s admissions office directly to schedule a campus tour and make the most of your visit experience.

    • Once a visit is scheduled, students must complete a College Visit Request Form and submit it to the main office at least one week prior to the visit.

    Important Reminder:
    A parent or guardian must call the school office to report the student’s absence as a college visit, either the day before or on the day of the visit in order for the absence to be excused.

    • ACT Test: College entrance test that students begin taking in the winter of their junior year at a selected testing site. You can take this test as many times as you want, as colleges do not average your score but take your best score. This test is preferred by HHS students and contains 4 major parts to give you a composite score. The writing test must be taken once, but the score does not enter into the composite. Register online and prepare before taking.
    • SAT Test: College entrance test that student begins to take in the winter of their junior year at a selected testing site. The test contains three major parts. Register online and prepare before taking.
    • SAT Subject Tests: A few "select" colleges require students to take at least two subject tests for admission purposes. Students choose the tests they feel most comfortable taking and do so at a selected testing site.
    • A.P. (Advanced Placement) Tests: Offered in our building after students have successfully completed the AP course. Obtaining a specific score might allow students not to have to take an introductory course in that field in college.
    • PSAT/NMSQT Test: Sophomores taking at least two honors classes and all juniors are offered the opportunity to take this test at HHS on a nationally designated date in October. It is a good preparation for college entrance testing. Juniors' scores are entered into the National Merit Scholarship competition. This is a practice SAT test.
