Smoky Hill
FOR LEARNERS
While many of our programs support Kansas schools, teachers, and administrators, we also provide Diploma Completion and High School Credit Recovery programs for adults and current high school students (with the student’s current home school district’s approval). If you are a current high school student needing to retake a high school course, or an adult or current high school student seeking to earn your diploma, we can help! Contact us for more information and to get started on your educational journey.

High School Credit Recovery
This program is for students who are currently attending high school in Kansas and need to retake a high school course. It is our goal to help you stay on target to graduate with your class. Students will have access to certified teachers and may complete courses online while attending their local high school.
WHAT'S THE NEXT STEP?
Interested students must get permission from current high school officials - a school counselor, principal, or both. We need this permission in writing, either a letter or e-mail. This letter must give us permission for you to take courses through our program, as well as provide us with the course that you have permission to take.
FEES
The fee is $300 per semester course, which SHESC will bill your school for. Payment may be made directly to SHESC by the student or the student can arrange for SHESC to bill their school.
CREDIT RECOVERY POLICIES
All pre-tests and semester tests must be taken in our facility or proctored by a school official.
Don’t wait any longer, get back on track with our high school credit recovery program. We have core and elective courses available. If you have any questions, please contact us at the address or number below.
