SUMMER SCHOOL
Plymouth High School offers an opportunity for students who have failed to
earn credit for a class during the regular school year to complete the requirements
and earn credit through a summer session. A limited number of courses are
available. Currently, two sessions are run during the summer, and students may
choose to attend either or both. Each session is two weeks in length and runs
from 8 a.m. to noon. To be eligible for summer school, students must earn a
grade of at least 50% during the regular school year or have teacher or administrator
approval. No fee is charged for the summer sessions.
TRANSFER CREDIT POLICY
World History can substitute for Citizenship and/or Area Studies.
African/Asian History can be substituted for .5 credit of Area Studies.
A Religion class may be substituted for one elective credit in social studies.
(If a student has more than one credit in religion, the credit(s) can be used as
elective credit(s). Student's status will be considered on an individual basis. No
student will be given more credits than his/her grade level.)
High school health credit can be waived if the student took a health class in
eighth grade and the transferring school has a policy stating that high school
health requirements can be met by taking health class in eighth grade.
YOUTH APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM
Youth apprenticeships offer students the opportunity to explore future
careers while they are still in high school and get paid for their time working at
area employers. Youth Apprenticeship offers one- and two-year programs in
fields like Health, Hotel and Hospitality, Finance, Mechanical Design, Welding,
Manufacturing and Auto Technician. The program offers an opportunity for
students to simultaneously be enrolled in academic classes to meet high schools’
graduation requirements and a youth apprenticeship-related instruction class.
There is no fee for the class. Students in the program are also employed by a
participating employer under the supervision of a skilled-mentor. This program
is available to qualified juniors and seniors.
