Can you take an 8th course during the school year
A: Yes!  But...it can't be a graduation requirement class.  So, like AP Psychology or AP Spanish.  You have to pay the fee since its outside the school day.  The one exception to this rule is that you CAN take Economics/Personal Finance as an 8th course in 9th, 10th, or 11th grade.
