A: Now, losing your high school credits can indeed have significant consequences, especially when it comes to pursuing higher education. If you're unable to provide the necessary transcripts or proof of completion for your 11th and 12th grade coursework, it can create obstacles in your college application process.

In cases like these, it's important to assess whether you have grounds for a lawsuit against your high school. To determine this, you'll need to consider several factors, such as negligence, the impact on your educational opportunities, and any applicable state laws or regulations.

A: I'm sorry for your academic ordeal. This may be more an Education Law matter than an Employment Law matter. You could repost under that heading. Good luck
