Link to Learners Permit Information
Driver Education Updates:
Registration for the Summer Driver's Education will open on May 24, 2023. Please use the link to the left entitled "Registration Form" or click here.
Class will meet in the LCHS Cafeteria.
For students coming from outside our campus, please use the Drop Off zone at the front of the school. We discourage off campus traffic from entering the student parking area until the parking lot has emptied by exiting students.
Pick up may be in the Baseball Parking Lot next to the Cafeteria.
Behind the Wheel is operating for students in prior classes. Teachers will be contacting students to schedule driving. There is nothing that you need to sign up for regarding BTW. The teachers have the names and will connect as they can schedule.
Students who need DRIVER ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATES, please follow the updated instructions as we are changing slightly due to the increased numbers being requested:
1. Call the Front Desk and request a DEC
2. Give the Front Desk full student name
3. Schedule a pick up at the front of the school with Front Office personnel. Parents/ guardians must pick up DEC, and provide ID to personnel before certificate can be released. You may want to schedule your DMV visit prior to requesting a DEC, as they are only valid for 30 days.
Remember, you must be a registered High School Student to take this class at this time.
****Middle school students will be eligible to begin taking the summer sessions as they will then be registered for 9th-grade classes in High School.
Note: The Registration Form is only activated when class is in open registration. The button disappears when the class is full.
