SPACE

*Electives complete the remainder of the coursework. Electives may include an additional year of Mathematics, Science, World Language, Computers, Art, Yearbook, and/or an English Language Arts. Elective offerings may vary each year and may include on-line or college courses.

High school students are required to take seven classes each semester. Students may take on-line elective courses (for classes St. Patrick School does not offer) through an outside agency or they may enroll in college courses either at a college campus or on-line with the approval of the school counselor.

At the conclusion of each year, students’ transcripts are reviewed to determine if they are on track for graduation requirements. If necessary, students must repeat classes they have failed in order to fulfill graduation requirements. Credits can be recovered through the public school during the summer or through virtual or online classes, or they can be made up at St. Patrick High School the following year.
