Requirements for Students to Attend Driver Education (DE) Classes
Students must be at least 14 ½-years-old on the first day of their selected class to be eligible to participate in the Driver’s Education program.
Students are strongly encouraged to register for classroom instruction as soon as they become 14 ½ years of age. Every effort will be made for them to receive the behind-the-wheel training by their 15th birthday.
Students who have dropped out of school are NOT eligible to take DE, nor are they eligible to obtain a Learner's Permit or NC Driver License until age 18.
Cost for Driver's Ed is $65. Students will be sent a payment link after completing the registration form.
