Shelby County Schools offering summer driver education classes

The Community Education Department of Shelby County Schools will offer summer classes for public, private, and home-school students. This class is open to high-school students living in Alabama. Additional high school courses being offered will be posted on the March Listserv announcements in emails sent out by the individual schools.

Students can choose one or multiple classes. All classes are taught by certified teachers and students must have 50 miles of varied driving experience before the start of class. Driver Education is comprised of one in-class meeting, online classwork, and behind-the-wheel instruction.

• Groups of students will coordinate with the instructor on driving times.

• Students will not drive in inclement weather.

• Each student will receive a grade, semester credit, and Certificate of Completion.
