Flaparent, I researched a bit of this too when my oldest was applying to colleges. Like you, I wanted to remove all race identifying markers on the high school transcript. When I called the Board of Education (for my state) I was told that there are two high school transcripts. One is kept for an indefinite period of time at the Board of Ed (includes race) and another one (does not include race) that is used to send to colleges. The transcripts that my child used to bring home always had race at the top of it. I can only trust that what they told me is accurate and don’t have reason to believe otherwise. Perhaps you could call your county board/school district to get further details. Good luck.
