Naviance Family Connection

Columbia Heights High School uses Naviance to request and send transcripts to schools throughout the U.S. To request a transcript, you will need to create a Naviance Account. All current students have Naviance accounts established already. Contact your dean or advisor if you need help logging in.

*We have now switched systems for transcript requests: from Parchment to Naviance. No requests made through Parchment are being fulfilled. Please request transcripts through Naviance only.
