RENOVATIONS-HIGH SCHOOL OFFICE


This project is intended to improve building security. It will create an entry similar to our elementary school where visitors will enter directly into the high school office area and only have access to the rest of the building if needed. The duration of the project could possibly last a few months. During this time, we have temporarily relocated some of our offices and building entrances.

SCHOOL DAY TRAFFIC:
The high school front/main entrance (door #1) will be closed during construction effective immediately. All school and visitor traffic during the school day between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. should enter door #2 located just to the west of the front entryway (Auditorium Entrance). All students, parents and other visitors must use this temporary entrance until construction is finished.

We apologize for any inconvenience the construction may cause. The completion of this project will create a safer school environment for our students and staff.

2024-25 CREDIT RECOVERY

 
Parents/Guardians,

Bath High School has established a credit recovery fee starting the 2024-2025 school year. Students who fail a required course for graduation and do not recover the credit during summer school through Apollo may take the course through Bath Digital Academy.

Students are required to pay $150 of the total cost of the credit recovery course. If the student fails, they will be required to pay the remaining balance. In total, a full credit course is $449 and a half credit course is $299. Students can only take a maximum of two classes per school year. Your student’s school counselor will inform you of the course(s) needed to recover.

Required course credits can also be earned through Apollo’s summer school program. All summer school courses are offered in an online format only. The cost is $120 per course.

Summer school information and registration can be found on Apollo’s webpage. https://apollocareercenterhs.com/summer-school/
