2025 Diploma & Cumulative File Pick-Up
in the College & Counseling Center

Congratulations on your graduation! Diploma & Cumulative File Pick-Up for the Class of 2025 is on May 28 & 29, 2025, from 8:00am to 1:00pm to pick up the following items:

  1. The cumulative file is the file that followed you from Kindergarten through 12th grade and may contain middle school report cards, pictures, immunization information, etc. It does not contain any St. Francis grading information, which will be sent out with the final transcript in June. Click here for the form that needs to be filled out prior to pick-up that you will need to bring with you. If you are not 18 at the time of pickup, the form needs to be signed by one of your parents/guardians. Please bring a photo ID to verify your identity and age. Due to the large number of files, St. Francis High School regrets that we will not be able to mail the cumulative files to homes. If you are unable to pick up the file at this time, you may arrange for pick-up during the summer by contacting Registrar Melissa Thompson at (916) 737-5034.
  2. Your official copy of your St. Francis High School Diploma. Please keep in a safe place as we do not keep digital copies of the diploma.
