MOUNT AIRY HIGH SCHOOL DRIVER EDUCATION
Mount Airy City Schools will charge a fee of $65.00 per student for the Driver’s Education course. Payment is required when you sign up. Checks should be written to Mount Airy High School. We can only take students who attend Mount Airy City Schools, Millennium Charter Academy or HomeSchool students who live in our district. If students choose to take the classroom phase at other places and come back to Mount Airy HS for road work, they will still be responsible for the $65.00 fee at Mount Airy. Payment of fee in no way guarantees a student will pass the course.
