SUMMER SCHOOL:
Galax High School offers summer instruction for students through a regional summer school with Carroll County and Grayson County. Students may enroll to compensate for failed subjects, who wish to take classes they could not otherwise include in their schedule, and for remediation. Students may take one new subject (totaling a minimum of 140 hours) or two repeat subjects (totaling a minimum of 75 hours each). Tuition is required. Summer School usually begins one week after the close of the regular school year. Students may take one summer school class or one independent study to afford the student with seven credit opportunities. Grades received in summer school will have standard weight.
SENIOR PRIVILEGES:
Seniors are allowed certain school privileges as an indication of their advanced standing and maturity. This practice will continue as long as the necessary responsibilities are demonstrated to justify the privileges.
