What are you talking about? Yes, in the past many kids took Health in the summer, but the vast majority took it during the school year, and your kid can, too. It's not fair that MCPS hasn't quickly designed an online version of this course so that your kid can enroll in it outside of the normal academic year, and in the summer of your choosing? My word. Just take it as part of the school year, as you do every other required course!
DD has taken required courses that do not meet her academic goals over the summer to make room later in HS for double-period AP science. It is legit not to have space in the schedule for Health and need an alternative. It is MCPS who has failed in providing adequate opportunities for the class of '25 to complete this requrement.
My older kids did this, too, and my youngest cannot. Oh well! Such is life.

My daughter had to drop an elective she really wanted to take in order to accomodate this class.
Not fair to class 2025

That's odd. My current 9th grader was told to register for both Health A and B in 10th grade.
That is odd; here´s the note from our reg ppt: Please note the changes in graduation requirements for the current sophomores/ rising juniors. 1 credit of health (Health A taken in 10th grade & Health B taken in 11th or 12th grade.
Huh. Our slideshow says:
Honors Health Education* HPE2042A HPE2042B
*For 10-12th graders only. Students in grade 12 should only register for semester A. Current grade 9 (class of 2026) and 10 students (class of 2025), should register for both semesters.
Wait, health is an honors class? The epitome of honors for all.
I didn’t realize it was honors health.Does mcps offer regular health?
Not for high school. There is only Honors.

There are some 1-semester social studies electives, if you're looking for another class to complete the year.

I thought it would at least be available in person this summer.
