Classroom Driver Education, though an elective course, is required in order to obtain a state driver's license prior to the age of 18.  Driver Education is divided into two phases: 30 classroom hours of instruction, and 6 hours of in-car training.  Student schedules must allow for one class period per day during one semester in order to complete course requirements. 

Due to recent changes in Drivers Education laws by the State of Illinois, our school may not be able to honor all requests by students to enroll in Drivers Education during their sophomore year. Students will be enrolled according to birthdates.

Coordinator: Alan Housner

Students enrolled in Driver Education will receive two grades at the end of the semester: one for the classroom phase, and one for the behind-the-wheel phase.  Upon successful completion of the Driver Education Cooperative Testing program, students will be eligible for their license without need for further examination by the Illinois Secretary of State Office. $20.00 Permit fee required by state.

Prerequisite: None.  Preference is given to grades 10, 11, and 12.

Per State Law:

As a prerequisite, students enrolling in Driver Education must be passing eight semester classes within the two most recent semesters of attendance.  Only classes used to determine a student's GPA will be allowed to meet this requirement.
