Students, who are behind their graduation cohort due to academic course failures, and need an extended day schedule, can recover credit(s) and become eligible to graduate using alternative district graduation requirements with their graduation cohort. This program operates at Andrews from 3:00 - 6:00 pm Monday through Thursday in Lab 208 under the supervision of our Graduation Coach, Jacqueline Drumwright.
