Driver Education is an elective course offered to students 15 years
of age or older. Emphasis is placed on defensive driving, using classroom
theory, simulation, and actual hands-on experience with the automobile
to acquaint students with maneuvers from the very basic to those used
in the most complex traffic environment.
Driver Education Evening School/Summer is a course that is offered
after the regular school day and in the summer months on a tuition basis.
Although it is an elective course, the one-half unit credit can be used
to fulfill graduation requirements. Possible reduction in automobile
insurance is available upon successful completion. In addition, students
may choose to enter the Cooperative Driver Testing Program. As determined
by course grades, this licensing program will waive further testing
by the Tennessee
Department of Safety for the student’s permit and/or license.
The Cooperative Driver Testing Program does not guarantee that all students
will be waived. Waivers are issued based on the student’s grades
and driving maturity.
