Holy Trinity Driver Education is a comprehensive program that fosters the mastery of basic driving skills and encourages students to become responsible members of the driving community. Each week, students are taught in the car and in the classroom by qualified and experienced teachers who emphasize that safe driving is a process of lifelong learning.

Holy Trinity Driver Education is open to Trinity and non Trinity students.

MAY 5, 2020:    Spring 2020 Driver Education Program Update:
 
We hope that everyone is healthy and safe during this time of crisis.
 
Be assured that the Spring 2020 semester of Driver Education that was started at the beginning of February and suspended in mid-March will be completed in its entirety. We are committed to ensure that each student will receive a full driver ed full course that will lead to an MV 285 Certificate which grants, at age 17,  a full license at the completion of a NYS Road Test and a discount on auto insurance.
 
Under NYSED guidelines, all students registered for the Spring semester of Driver Education may complete the Spring course during the Summer months (July/August), or the Fall months (September-January).  When more information is available from the governor regarding the opening of school buildings and summer programs, we will be able to give more definitive information on the startup of operations. When the time comes, students will be contacted directly regarding the changes in the program and their options.
 
Be assured that the safety and health of the students and instructors is our priority. When the time comes, all necessary precautions will be taken to ensure a safe program.
This is all the information we have at this time.  Any questions? email:

 2020 Driver Ed Students

Where do I go for the classes?
All students are dropped off and picked up at Holy Trinity Diocesan High School at the VISITOR’S ENTRANCE ON CHERRY LANE.  Lecture classes will be held in Room 101 (signs will be posted).  Students will meet their driving Instructors on the first day of class at the VISITOR’S ENTRANCE and at the Driver Ed car thereafter.  We are not permitted to pick up or drop off students at their home or any other location other than the school.

What do I need to bring to class?
A notebook, a pen or pencil, and your learner’s permit.

What about absences?
By Holy Trinity regulations, a student is allowed to make-up no more than 3 absences in either car or lecture class. All absences must be made up. It is the student’s responsibility to make arrangements with, and obtain prior approval from, the regular driving and/or lecture instructor to proceed with any make-up classes  There are no “excused” absences. Absences due to illness, bereavement, SATs, ACTs (and other tests), are all still considered absences and must be made up.

How do I know if a class is cancelled due to bad weather?
In the case of inclement weather, please visit our website to check for cancellations (if inclement weather develops during the day check before you set out for class.). If school is canceled, Driver Education will also be canceled. Go to holytrinityhs.org and you can also view school closings on Channel 12 news or call 433-4852.
