Excited to be speaking at the 2026 FPEA Convention on Friday, May 22, 2026 at 4:30 PM! The title of my presentation is "High School Transcripts Demystified."
Come join me for an informative session, where I share my insights and expertise on how to build your student's high school transcript, and how to avoid the top five mistakes that homeschooling parents often make when preparing this crucial document. The session will cover different types of transcripts, credits, GPA calculations, weighted GPAs, and what conventions parents may wish to adopt to make their student's transcript stand out in a sea of applicants.
You can also find me at Booth 1405 in the Exhibitor Hall from Thursday - Saturday. I look forward to seeing you there! :)
