Driver training is an elective course offered to students at EHS. Each student must have parental permission to drive a motor vehicle. A learner’s permit must be obtained by the student prior to registering for driver training. There is a cost to take the course. After completion of driver education and driver training, a student may request an insurance certificate from their instructor.

Driver training consists of nine hours of simulation and three hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. The purpose of the 12-hour course is to develop, through the use of realistic situations, the knowledge, attitudes and skills necessary for safe and efficient operation of the automobile in urban, rural and superhighway traffic. Students may also be eligible to take the “End of Course Skills Test” at EHS and receive their license upon successful completion.

Please see the driver training page on the EHS website for frequently asked questions and resources.
