  Driver Education 
  

  This course is approved by the State of Virginia. The classroom portion is half of the state’s requirements to complete the driver’s education program.  This course is only the classroom portion. This class is fast-paced to cover all the material.
  
  This class is a TWO-WEEK CLASS to meet the State of Virginia hour requirements for certification.  The student who successfully completes this course will receive a certificate that is good for three years. If you are concerned about the pace, volume of information or have any questions about this class you should reach out to Gary Leake, our Athletic Director who manages the Driver's Education Program.

That course is separated into two areas: 40 hours of practice with parents and 14 lessons of in-car instruction with a certified instructor. Additional information and registration forms for the second portion will be distributed during the classroom session.
