    Discovery High School Summer School Health and Physical Education are being offered virtually
    through Discovery Community School. Classes are virtual and will begin on Tuesday, May 31st, 2022
    and end on Thursday, June 23rd, 2022.

    These courses are graduation requirements but can be taken any time during a student’s four years.
    While optional, successful completion of these two courses over the summer will give your student
    open slots in his/her future academic schedule. These two summer courses are recommended for
    rising 9th grade students interested in band, orchestra, theater, athletics, as well as any other rising 9th
    grader who wants to open two class slots during the normal school year for other courses and
    opportunities. These two summer courses are also recommended for any rising 10th – 12th grade
    student at Discovery High School still in need of their Health and PE credits both of which are
    required for graduation.

    The Health course cost is $250.00 and the PE course cost is $250.00. With the successful completion
    of each course, you will earn the .5 credit for each course and will fulfill a graduation requirement. You
    may register for one course or for both courses.
