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.

Marist High School will offer 3 sessions of classroom instruction in Driver Education during the summer of 2025. Dates and times are listed below:
