Valdosta High School/Valdosta City Schools announces summer school schedule

Valdosta High School extends an invitation to any student who may need to regain lost credits from any local high school.  VHS will also be offering a new credit course (1/2 credit)  in Driver’s Education and Drug/Alcohol Awareness which will comply with the new driving requirements under Joshua’s Law that assists students to meet the requirements for obtaining a Class D provisional license.  ADAP cards will be issued which are required for students to obtain a drivers license.  Students completing the Drivers Education Course may be eligible for insurance discounts and a possible $175.00 tax credit.  Check with your insurance company and accountant.  Each course is worth ½ credit. VHS summer school is SACS accredited and Carnegie units will be awarded for passed courses.
