Marist High School will be offering two courses to rising 8th graders this summer. Choosing one of the classes below will earn 1/2 elective credit toward graduation on the Marist transcript. Taking a high school class early can free up academic time during the school year for other classes and allow students to focus on material in the summer with fewer academic obligations in other classes.

The RedHawk Ready courses are available for rising 8th graders. The session will run from June 9 – June 26, Monday – Thursday 8:00 am – 11:30 am. Each course has a fee of $350. Please note, there will be no class on June 19. Students are expected to attend every class during the session dates.
