Driver Education is offered to Fort Atkinson High School students through the contracted services of Tri-City Driving School. The course will be offered each quarter throughout the school year during the school day. Additionally, Tri-City offers evening classes and a summer class. This is a non-credit class and will not count toward the student’s GPA. Tri-City Driving School is an established driving school that has been teaching safe driving to our youth since 1990. Our mission is to teach our students the laws, proper driving techniques and overall safe driving skills in an enjoyable classroom environment.
