The Southern High School Extended Evening Academy for the 2009-2010 school year will begin September 28, 2009.  Students wishing to participate in the first 3-week Module must complete and return their applications to Ms. Massey before the end of the day on Wednesday, Sept. 16th.  Students that are selected to start in Module 1 will be notified by September 23rd. 

Welcome 

We are happy to provide an opportunity for Southern High School students to recover credits in the Southern High School Extended Evening Academy, so that our students can be on track to graduate with their cohort.  This is going to be a wonderful journey as we work together to ensure success for every student. 

Purpose

Reduce the dropout rate and increase the graduation cohort rate by providing students with options for recovering credits and skills to increase comprehension.  Students in the Evening Academy will also be eligible to receive scholarships to attend the Restoration Institute for Leaders (RIL), a seven-week program during the summer.  The RIL program offers daily leadership building activities, community involvement, reading and math tutorials, and course recovery based on individual student needs.  Students can earn at least 3 credits in the RIL program.  The RIL Program is not a SHS program.  It is a separate program that is facilitated by Ms. Joyner, the Executive Director of the RIL Program.

Evening Academy Target Audience

Current Southern High School students who need additional credits to graduate with their cohort.

Schedule

Classes are offered Monday through Thursday, from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.  Students must complete each course in three weeks.
