Drivers Education

Driver Education classes are typically offered three to four times throughout the year by Mr. Taylor ([email protected]). Each student is required to complete 30 hours of classroom instruction before completing 6 hours of driving instruction. In order to enroll in a class, the student must be 14 1/2 years of age by the first day of class.

During the school year, the classes are offered after school. They run from 3:15 to 6:15 for a period of two weeks. The summer class may be in the morning or early afternoon.

Once the student has completed the classroom portion they will be scheduled to drive, beginning with the oldest students working down to the youngest. The instructor at Burns High is Brad Taylor.

A non-refundable driver education fee of $65.00 MUST be paid before the start of class. This fee along with a completed registration form must be turned into Mrs. Mayhew (in the main office) before the start of class.

Students must be present on the first day of class.
