The two main reasons students take summer school is because they need to make up credits or they just want to get ahead. It’s harder for students who are trying to make up credits because if they’re late or miss their summer school class, they can automatically fail.

“We don’t need to worry about the students that choose summer school to be advanced and to get ahead,” said counselor Erik Smith.

Smith also gave tips to do well in your summer school course. He recommends that you never be tardy, don’t miss any of your classes, and to always stay focused and be on task. Interested students should find out when and where summer school will be held on our campus.

Semester one of summer school at McKinley will be from May 31 to June 18. Semester two will be after semester one from June 19 to July fifth.
