Driver Education Philosphy

Driver Education Philosophy

Driver Education has the important task of preparing our young drivers for a lifetime of safe motoring.  The more our students can learn in terms of skill, attitudes and knowledge, the better chance they have to become the type of driver that will make the highways of our country safer for everyone.  The high school driver education teacher uses this motivation to teach driving in a way that is more effective and more lasting than some other methods a new driver might learn.  Students who have experienced high school driver education make better citizens because they are more aware of their responsibilities as drivers in a complex highway transportation system.
