Summer School: Need to make up credits? Summer school is a great way to get back on track in a supportive, focused setting.

Dates: June 8 – June 30, 2026
Time: 8:30 AM – 12:30 PM (Monday–Friday)

Good to know:

• Bussing available Monday–Thursday (no bussing on Fridays)
• Breakfast and lunch are provided Monday–Friday
• Short days, small setting, and a chance to knock out credits without the distractions of a full school day
