The Community Education Department of Shelby County Schools will offer summer classes for public, private, and home-school students. This class is open to high-school students living in Alabama. Additional high school courses being offered will be posted on the March Listserv announcements in emails sent out by the individual schools.

• Groups of students will coordinate with the instructor on driving times.

• Students will not drive in inclement weather.

• Each student will receive a grade, semester credit, and Certificate of Completion.
