DRIVER EDUCATION Grade 10
This required course emphasizes helping young people save lives. Much material in this course is
selected because of its relation to the life or death aspect of driving. Behind-the-wheel instruction is given
to those students who desire to take advantage of it. Students who will be 16 years old prior the end of
the first semester of 10th grade should schedule the fall semester course. For the behind-the-wheel
phase, students must be 16 years of age and possess a valid learner’s permit or driver’s license. Students
may arrange for behind-the-wheel training with the instructor. This behind-the-wheel training is scheduled
during the student’s study halls.
