Most HS Seniors actually have enough credits to graduate by halfway through their Sr year, especially if they are taking AP classes. I know I did back in 1980.
Different Districts have different scheduling rules. This was exactly my situation in 1973. I took college classes in 3 of the afternoons and voluntarily stayed over in my drafting class to improve my skills the other 2 days. Thought I might want to use that somewhere on my career path. AutoCAD put those skills obsolete quick enough. And I worked part time at Piggly Wiggly. I can still hand letter pretty good when i want to so i guess that's handy once in a while. Free hand drafting is a lost art  I just submitted my 2nd provisional patent which requires drawings to be included. I pulled out all my 7th grade drafting skills and went to town. They were not too bad and I would guess I would've got a C- if it was turned in.

My senior year I had finished about 1/3 of the way into the year. I took wood shop and metal shop and pretty much had the rest of the day off.

I took auto shop one semester
I was given a 4 gal Rochester carb off of some junk v-8 that was getting overhauled
Was given the carb and a rebuild kit.
Told to take it apart and put it back together.
If it worked I'd get an A

I got the A I always hated working on Q-jets. Have a buddy that used to be able to take them apart and put them back together in his sleep.
