There are a variety of ways students can recover credits or accelerate their credits for graduation. Before beginning any outside credit recovery or acceleration course, the student should meet with their counselor to discuss all options and ensure that the course will fulfill graduation requirements.
MOST COMMON WAYS TO EARN CREDITS OUTSIDE OF REGULAR SCHOOL HOURS:
