Classroom Driver Education
- All tenth-grade students complete a nine-week classroom course as part of their health and physical education class.

- Key topics covered: laws and regulations, alcohol safety, drug abuse awareness, aggressive and distracted driving, motorcycle awareness, organ donation, fuel efficiency, and police stops.
Parent/Guardian Involvement
- Both a parent/guardian and the student must attend a mandatory state-mandated Parent/Student Meeting during enrollment.
In-Car Driver Education (Behind-the-Wheel)

- Instruction can either be through PWCS or a commercial driving academy.
- Students undertake 7 days (14 periods) of driving with a certified instructor.
- A road skills test is administered on the final day of the course.
- Highly recommended to seek instruction through PWCS for familiarity and instructor commitment.
Learner's Permit and Eligibility
- Students must obtain a learner’s permit to begin Behind-the-Wheel instruction.
- Eligibility for a learner's permit requires being at least 15 years and 6 months old.
- Minimum requirements for taking Behind-the-Wheel through PWCS: completion of Classroom Driver Education, maintaining a C grade or better, and completing at least 10 hours of driving practice with a parent.
