Call your high school. Ask if you may submit a request to them or if you will need to contact the Board of Education. If you are advised to contact the Board of Education, ask for the number.

Contact the Board of Education and ask for the student records office. Regardless of whether you request your diploma through the high school or the Board of Education, you will have to provide your personal information and/or fill out a form in order to obtain your official records.

Pay the fee. Be prepared to pay a small fee for your high school diploma. The records office will normally charge around $10 to process your request. Some schools may offer expedited delivery for a larger fee. Note that this fee is an estimate. You will need to verify specifics with your school.
-
4
Update your contact information within the system or on the request form. Your school records will have the address and phone number of where you lived while attending high school. If you haven't moved out of your guardian's home, no need to worry about this step. Otherwise, update your information so that your diploma goes to your current address.

Tips & Warnings
Allow your school enough time to process your request. Avoid calling at the last minute to obtain your official records. Depending on how long ago you graduated, it could take approximately six to eight weeks to obtain a copy of your diploma. Not all schools will have the same policies. It is better to call your high school to confirm its procedures.
Make sure you need a copy of your diploma and not a copy of your high school transcript. A transcript will show classes and grade-point averages. A diploma will just show a completion of high school.
