2012-2013 General Information
Drivers Education is offered, one time, to all Broughton High School students. Students must be 14.5 years of age to take the required 30-hour classroom portion offered through Jordan Driving School. Class is offered during after-school hours, Saturdays, holiday breaks, and summer months. A list of available classes is available along with forms for the next class during the school year.
The class consists of 10 school days from 2:25-5:25 in room 2202. Students need to bring a copy of their birth certificate, pen, pencil, paper, snack and a drink.
Legislature has made extensive changes in the laws governing student driving permits and licenses. Since the new Dropout Prevention/Driver's License Legislation affects so many of our students under the age of 18, we have outlined the new process.

Step 1: |
Complete Driver Education Class. |
Step 2: |
Take your Driver Education Completion Certificate, your birth certificate and your most recent report card showing last semester's grades or end of course grades to the Main Office. A parent must sign the Driving Eligibility Certificate AND Disciplinary Action form before it can be validated. At Broughton a student must pass 6 courses to be eligible for a learners permit. If the student is taking less than 6 courses they can not get a certificate unless the amount of courses taken is all that is for graduation [so this would only apply to Seniors]. |
Step 3: |
Take the following items to obtain a driver's permit:
|
DMV will be notified and the license/permit will be revoked if a student drops out of school, does not pass five of six classes first semester, or five of six classes using final grades (semester or year) second semester. DMV charges a $35 fee for reinstatement of revoked license/permit.
For information about obtaining a license, check with the NC DMV (External Site). The new regulations are complicated.
