Summer Driver Training at EHS
We offer driver training at the high school which could save you money on your car insurance, could help you become a better, safer driver, and could save you a trip to the DMV for your driver’s license. We will be running multiple sessions throughout the summer (exact dates are TBD). To sign up, please click the link and follow the google form.
General Information: 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. The cost to take the course is $250. After completion of Driver Education and Driver Training, a student may request an insurance certificate from their instructor.
Course Requirements: Driver training consists of nine hours of simulation, and three hours of behind-the-wheel instruction. The purpose of the twelve-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.
Other Information: Driver Training is offered through several 5–6-week sessions throughout the school year. There are also summer sessions and morning sessions offered to students who are unable to fit the course into their normal school day schedule.
Prerequisite: 30-hour Pennsylvania State approved Driver Education course.
