Classroom Instruction:

In order to be eligible to take Driver Education a student must be at least 14 years, 6 months old.  Students are required to complete 30 hours in the driver education classroom and 6 hours behind the wheel instruction.  Driver education classes are scheduled throughout the school year, and during the summer.  Behind the wheel driving is conducted after school between 3pm and 9pm, and from 6am until 9pm on Saturdays, during the summer and any time students are out of school.  Students are driven by age, oldest called first, after completing the classroom phase of driver education.

Students are also required by the NCDMV and dropout prevention services to pass at least 3 of 4 classes at KHS to obtain or maintain a learner´s permit or a driver license.  You may take driver education without meeting the 3 of 4 passing requirement, however, you will not satisfy the driver eligibility rules until you pass 3 of 4 classes.

Behind the Wheel: 

Please be patient as we attempt to drive students as quickly as possible. Students will be called approximately four (4) to six (6) weeks after completing the classroom portion of Driver Education.  When you are called, please remember to write down the driving schedule, place to meet and be picked up, and the instructor’s name and number. The behind the wheel instructor will be responsible for calling and scheduling students to drive. Please provide a number in which you can be reached. Messages will not be left on answering machines.
The wait time for driving during the summer will be from six (6)to eight (8) weeks after completing the last day of class.
