Take a Drivers Ed practice test HERE!

Idaho's Graduated Driver's Licensing (GDL) Program

A student must be 14½ before they can begin taking Driver’s Education. The District offers classes throughout the school year. State law requires 30 hours of classroom instruction and is completed in the first 3 weeks. Students will then schedule drives with their assigned driver. It is estimated to take a student 2 to 3 months to complete all requirements for the class. The cost for the class is $150. Students must be on time and attend class to complete the requirements. A student can only make up three hours of class time. After missing three hours, the student will be dropped from the program with no refund.

To sign up for Driver’s Education, go to: Drivers Ed Registration

If you have questions, contact Deon Ward at deonw@msd321.com or 208-359-3300, ext. 3401.
