Open to any student who meets the state guidelines.

North Country Driving School is under contract with the school district to provide Driver Education classes at Fall Mountain Regional High School. Five classes will be offered during the year including a summer course. Students may choose the class that is most appropriate for them, as long as the age and space requirements, established by North Country Driving School, are met.

Driver Education provides students with instruction in fundamental knowledge, skills, techniques, and attitudes necessary for the safe operation of a motor vehicle. Risk management is stressed by viewing each driving situation as an interaction of visibility, time, and space. Driver education consists of 30 hours of classroom instruction offered concurrently with 10 hours of behind-the-wheel driving experience and 6 hours of in-car observation time.

The sign-up procedure is accomplished through the Guidance Department. About one month before a new class begins, the school will announce the upcoming class. All interested, age-appropriate students are to go to the Guidance Department, sign up for the class and pick up a registration packet. The completed registration form plus the course fee must be brought to the first scheduled class.

North Country Driving School looks forward to working with Fall Mountain Regional High School students during the school year. Questions concerning Driver Education are to be directed to Samuel Bisson, North Country Driving School at (603) 352-8122.
