Mr. Testa Announcement

If you are a current sophomore and want to take a summer class please complete this very short form!

Summer classes begin May 20th and end July 17th. These classes are 8 weeks long, which is half the length of a normal class.  This means they are very fast paced and you cannot miss assignments.  May 20th is in the middle of final exams, so be prepared for that.  Please make sure you are available and have reliable internet during this time frame!   

Sophomores take HIS131 or 132 (American History) during the summer.  There is not much of a choice.  The reason is because HIS131/132 are required for both HS and college and because it is an easier 8 week online course.
