Driver
Education

Marist High School works in conjunction with the Chicago Public School Driver Education Program at Bogan High School by making classroom instruction available to our student body here at Marist. Driver Education is taught by an instructor from Chicago Public Schools and the class is not part of Marist’s curriculum. Classroom instruction is made available at Marist High School as a convenience to our student body throughout the school
year.

This fall/winter, Marist will be hosting (2) two sessions of in-person classroom instruction:
Session 1: November 4 to November 25, 2025
Session 2: January 12 to February 4, 2026

Classes will meet Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 3:00 pm until 4:30 pm. Students must attend each class to meet the state requirements for classroom instruction. Students must be 15 years of age prior to the beginning date of each class. The student’s iPad will be needed for class.
Students must also be in good standing in the Dean’s Office with regards to academics, attendance and discipline. Enrollment in the class will be limited to 30 students on a first come, first served basis. Approval of all applications will be made by Mr. Don Pirkle, Dean of Students, Underclassmen.
