Princeton High School is destroying cumulative student files for graduates from 2017, 2018, and 2019, but former students have until July 24 to request their records before they’re permanently discarded. The files contain health records, standardized test scores, and other cumulative materials — but not transcripts or permanent academic records, which the school keeps indefinitely. Graduates who want copies should act quickly.

The cumulative files are separate from official transcripts and permanent academic records, which Princeton High School maintains on file. Former students who want their cumulative files should contact Elena Hilmes, the school’s records custodian, at ( 815) 875-3308 or elena.hilmes@phs-il.org. Requests must include a mailing address where the records should be sent.
