The archive maintains a collection of closed Catholic school records comprised of various record types, such as permanent record cards, high school transcripts, yearbooks and photographs.
The collection includes records from over fifty archdiocesan primary and high schools, however, not every school represented in the collection has each of the record types.
Archive staff offer support to school staff, graduates, prospective employers and employment agencies who seek to verify an individual’s education.
Employment agencies, potential employers, etc. may contact the archive directly on behalf of an individual by sending a written request and signed release form to [email protected].
If your school is open, please contact the school directly for assistance. You can find a current list of schools and their contact information on our website by clicking here.
If your school is not listed, please search for the school in our collections catalog, which will indicate if we hold the records of a school or provide contact information for the institution that does.
If the archive holds records of the school you attended, please complete the PDF form linked below and email to [email protected] along with a copy (photograph or scan) of your government-issued photograph identification.
We will reply to confirm receipt of your request and notify you of any applicable fees.
No, the archive does not maintain diplomas nor can a new one be provided.
Diplomas are ceremonial documents and are not retained in perpetuity. Rather, your high school transcript is considered your official student record and includes your date of graduation.
High school transcripts, permanent record cards, and other personal records are considered confidential and are only released to the individual named in the record or for educational or employment purposes.
When available, yearbooks, photographs and other such records that are considered non-confidential can be made available for alumni reunions, genealogy or other purposes at the discretion of archive staff.
To request a student transcript, please submit the completed PDF above along with a copy (scan or photograph) of a government-issued photograph identification to [email protected]. We will reply to confirm receipt of your request and notify you of any applicable fees.
