I graduated from a private/church school in Alabama. I am attempting to enroll into a college and cannot find my high school transcripts. What do I do?
The ALSDE does not maintain individual records for any nonpublic, private or church school student. Please refer back to the school in which you graduated. If it is a closed private school, conduct research to locate a former trustee or board member to see where the records were stored. If it is a closed church school, refer back to the church that sponsored the school. If the church is closed, conduct research to identify a former church member, pastor or deacon that might know the whereabouts of any stored student records.

Are there any requirements for teachers at nonpublic schools? Could, for instance, someone with no high school diploma or equivalent legally teach in a non public school?
The ALSDE is not authorized to license or regulate any nonprivate, nonpublic, or church school offering instruction in grades K-12 or any combination thereof, except as to the application of the Child Protection Act of 1999, as amended.
