Phenix City
Schools and Central High School are proud to offer Central Fast
Track during June 2007. This program offers motivated students a
chance to get ahead in their high school education. Taking advantage
of this summer session allows students to complete certain required
courses. This provides more schedule flexibility, allowing them to
take more challenging academic courses later in their high school
career or elective courses that might not otherwise be available to
them. |

Classes will meet from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00
p.m. June 4-29, Monday-Friday. The cost is $100 per course, and only
one course can be taken at a time. Registration deadline is June 1,
