Most students seemingly wait endlessly for their chance to drive. They are usually more than ready to start their instruction to learn to drive. Health, also a required sophomore course, provides students with a chance to learn a little about them- selves.

The center was designed to offer elective career education programs which a district by itself could not afford. The basic concept of the center is to offer training to insure employability immediately after high school. DAVEA courses are a part of G.E.'s elective program, and juniors and seniors may enroll. Upon completion of the elective DAVEA program, students are awarded graduation credits as well as a vocational certificate. 135
