SUMMER SCHOOL

Pulaski County High School tries to offer summer school to students who have previously failed a required course. Letters are sent out at the end of the school year informing students of their failures and the opportunity to retake the course in summer school. Summer school is currently a three-week program where students use a computer-based program to repeat the course they have previously failed. Space is limited in summer school and is based on a first come, first serve basis. In the event enrollment exceeds the class limit for Camp Cougar 9, then those applicants who are not able to participate in Camp Cougar 9 (due to enrollment limits) will receive priority for participating in Camp Cougar 10 the following ear. No other students will receive priority. There is a fee for summer school. Questions about summer school should be directed to the Guidance Office.
