Students take (3) courses to earn 1 ½ credits of PE to meet graduation requirements. High School students may substitute participation in athletic co curricular activities for ½ credit of the 1 ½ credits required for graduation. Students who substitute athletic co-curricular participation must complete an additional ½ credit of English, Math, Science, Social Studies or Health Education course that is not otherwise required for graduation.
Students may want to retake a course to learn at a deeper level to prepare for future coursework, improve one’s gpa or college admission, increase chances on acquiring a scholarship or simply to acquire the maximum gpa on can earn. The decision to retake a course is an important decision and requires a parent meeting with school personnel prior to the second enrollment. Any course to be retaken must be done within the next school year. All courses taken will be recorded on the students transcript. The letter “R” will replace the lower grade and will have no value in calculating one’s gpa or class rank.
