Getting another diploma, possible or not?

So, if by any chance I lost my high school diploma, could I request another one? This might be a super silly question, but I'm honestly not sure how this works.

Absolutely, most high schools have procedures in place for issuing replacement diplomas for alumni who've misplaced their original one. It typically involves contacting your high school or the school district’s administration offices directly. You may need to provide some necessary information like your full name at the time of graduation, your date of birth, the year of graduation, and maybe even your student ID number if you remember it.

There might be a small fee associated with the reprinting and shipping of the replacement diploma, so do inquire about any potential costs when reaching out to your high school. It's also crucial to bear in mind that reissuing your diploma can take a bit of time, perhaps several weeks, so factor this into your planning.

Just remember, your high school transcript is generally accepted as proof of graduation too. For most purposes, including college and job applications, transcripts are often more valuable than the actual diploma as they contain your coursework, and grades.
