Credit Recovery / Summer School

DHS offers Credit Recovery for students who have failed a course and want to earn the credit. The following parameters are in place for the classes of 2026 and 2027 and all subsequent graduating classes, beginning in the 2023-24 school year:

Students may take up to 5 credits total of Credit Recovery Courses. Dissemination of the credits are as follows:

·       English – 1 credit may be earned in English (excluding English 10)

·       Math – 1 credit may be earned in Math (excluding Algebra 1)

·       Science – 1 credit may be earned in Science (excluding Biology)

·       Social Studies – 1 credit may be earned in Social Studies

·       Fitness/Wellness – 1 credit may be earned in either Fitness and/or Wellness

·       Elective – 1 credit may be earned in any offered Elective courses

*Exclusions – English 10, Algebra 1, and Biology are excluded as credit recovery course options due to the fact that they are mandated state tested courses.

Cost - $116 per course

Payment is the responsibility of the student and/or family, as these courses have already been offered through DHS to the student and as such this is a credit recovery program. Exceptions may apply

*Students graduating in 2024 and 2025 will be permitted to take courses and earn credit towards graduation on an individual basis, not necessarily aligned to the parameters listed above.
