In-Person Secondary Summer School offers courses for current 8th  through 12th grade students. Courses offered through this program are primarily for grade replacement and are required because a student failed the course in a previous semester and needs to pass it to fulfill a graduation requirement. In addition to grade replacement, social studies and elective courses can be taken proactively for first-time credit to create space for other courses during the regular school year.
