Amarillo High to offer behind the wheel driver course
Amarillo High School will start a new behind-the-wheel driver training program this fall for 192 students, funded mainly by $3,600 for the instructor and using a donated car. The course runs nine weeks with twice weekly sessions and a weekly theory meeting, with parental permission required and no graduation credit. The plan follows prior local support from the Amarillo Safety Council and plans to begin with students 16 and older, prioritizing those who do not drive.
