  • Ordering Transcripts

    Welcome to Parchment Exchange. Decatur High School is offering this service to make ordering transcripts easier for you. It's also more efficient for your school and will deliver your transcripts to the colleges you choose in the format they prefer. Make sure to use a different email address than your DHS email because this account will be deactivated post-graduation. If you experience any difficulties, please contact us at 404-370-4170, extension 2165.

    DHS ONLY WILL PROVIDE TRANSCRIPTS THROUGH THE PARCHMENT SYSTEM

    ****YOUR TRANSCRIPT REQUEST WILL BE PROCESSED WITHIN 5 SCHOOL DAYS****
