The 2025 High School Summer Credit Recovery Program offers students an in-person opportunity to make up missed credits in a condensed, flexible learning environment. Two instructional options are available: traditional teacher-led classes or supported online learning through Edmentum. The program runs from June 16 to July 3, Monday through Friday, with no school on June 19 in observance of Juneteenth. Students can earn up to 2 credits over the 3-week session.

Registration opens Monday, April 14 and closes May 30 (or earlier if classes fill). Attendance is mandatory, lunch is provided, and transportation is not available. Classes will be held at St. Louis Park Middle School.



For questions, students and families should contact their grade-level counselor or the Summer Credit Recovery Coordinator, Alonzo Parks.
