Driver education is offered at LHS. Taking this course at LHS is a privilege.  As per SGI requirements, students must be at least 14 years, 9 months of age, and have certificates to prove age and identification.  This course is comprised of both in-class (30 hrs) and in-car (6 hrs) instruction and requires 100% attendance of classes. P.V.S.D. only offers this course one time per student. Class limit is 35. Class will be filled starting with the oldest registered students. Students will be notified via the daily announcements when the class registration process begins.

The in-class component is generally offered after school hours so as not to conflict with academic courses of study.  However, students might be pulled from their regular classes when driving with the driver-trainer.  It is the responsibility of the student to notify the classroom teacher ahead of time, as to the student’s intent to go driving with the driver-trainer. Any assignments missed while the student is driving are the responsibility of the student and not the teacher.

If your son/daughter has an SGI Photo Card, they already have their ID number, so they will not have to visit an SGI agency.
