Keep the learning going all summer!

At West Catholic:

Summer health is held every summer. This course is capped at 40 and priority will be given to current West Catholic students needing to meet their Health requirement. Register at grwestcatholicprograms.org/online-health.cfm. Deadline is May 24, 2021.
