Health B - 2nd semester of Senior Year for 2025 class?

[Anonymous]

Hello, Since Health B is offered in 2nd semester only, for class of 2025, can seniors take it in the 2nd semester of their senior year and still be able to graduate early (mostly in May)?

Don’t assume it will only be offered 2nd semester. There may be enough students needing B but not A that they offer it both semesters, especially to get seniors finished.

This whole health B thing was poorly thought out. I would be surprised if your kids counselor would allow that since it's required for graduation. They seem to want to make sure kids get stuff like that out of way earlier.

Seniors don't graduate early, they graduate on time. Courses are adjusted so seniors are done before the MCPS graduation schedule begins, even if students in lower grades have more work to do.

Huzzah! It is actually listed under e-learning. I am relieved because this is a good sign for summer. Not signing my Junior up for an 8th online class during the year.
