Johansen is excited to share information about our 2025 Summer School program – which runs from June 4 through July 2, 2025. Please note there will be no school on June 19 in observance of the holiday. Summer School supports students who need to make up credits that are required for graduation or to stay on track for college entrance (A-G) requirements. We strongly encourage families to consider this opportunity to ensure their student’s continued academic progress. We have several sessions available: Morning Session: 8:30 AM – 12:00 PM / Afternoon Session: 12:30 PM – 4:00 PM / Both sessions (if student has 2 or more classes to take) Meals: Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day for all students attending Summer School. We look forward to supporting your student’s academic journey this summer. Please visit or call the Counseling Office for more information at (209) 574-1771.
