Driver's Education
Driver's Education is offered in two phases. In the first phase students have nine weeks of classroom work (Driver's Safety). All students will be scheduled for safety class based on their age and number of classes passed. Students must be at least 15 years of age for classroom instruction.
Phase two is four weeks of behind-the-wheel training (Driver's Training). Note: All students must have six hours of behind-the-wheel instruction in order to take the driving test before age 18. The top 12 students with the highest grades in safety class will drive during the school day; other students who pass safety will be able to sign up for before school or after school drivers training.
