HCOA Summer School 2025 Courses Offered
HCOA Summer School 2025 - General Information
During the summer break, Henry County Schools provides students the ability to take high school courses in a virtual learning environment (online with teacher support) through Henry County Online Academy (HCOA). This is not credit recovery. Courses taken through HCOA summer school are generally taken as new credit courses (never taken previously) or repeat courses (taken and failed previously). HCOA summer school courses will result in new lines of credit on student transcripts, and all courses taken will be factored into the student GPA. Below is the essential information for summer school 2025. Registration starts with your home high school counselor. (Rising 9th graders will register at the high school they will be attending in fall of 2025)
Registration and Enrollment Steps:
Student meets with a counselor at their home high school and is advised of summer school course options. (Rising 9th graders will register with the high school counselor)

After discussing your summer school options with your home school counselor, complete the SharePoint Link to request the courses you would like to take.
Students will need to submit one SharePoint request for each course they are registering for (ex. 3 half credits will require 3 SharePoint completions).
Once courses have been requested by students, the requests will get sent to the home school counselor for approval.
Students will receive an email confirming SharePoint form(s) submission. However, students are not fully registered for the course until the home school counselor approves the request(s) and payment has been received.
HCOA staff will enroll students in courses that are approved by counselors. Please double check with your counselor that you have the correct courses to register for BEFORE submitting any SharePoint requests.
HCOA staff are not responsible for students taking courses that they may not have needed if the courses were approved by the student’s home school counselor.
