We will be doing sign-ups for Driver's Ed the week of March 4-8 during P.E. class. Coach Sills will be sending home information with the students regarding the information they will need in order to fill out the required forms from the State.
The cost of the course is $100. That fee can be sent in at any time. Please make checks out to CUHS and give them to Ms. Amanda in the office.
