Alive at 25!
Because we are committed to keeping our students safe behind the wheel, we are implementing a proactive program called Alive at 25 at all School District of Pickens County high schools. Beginning in the 2012-2013 school year, each student who drives and/or parks on a high school campus must complete the program.
Developed by the National Safety Council, Alive at 25 is an early intervention program that focuses on the behaviors that young drivers exhibit, teaching them to recognize the consequences of those actions. Law enforcement officers teach the 4 ½ hour course in small groups and address the dangers of speeding, failure to use seatbelts, using cell phones while driving, eating while driving, driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and more. The goal is to prevent traffic violations, collisions, and fatalities.
To be ready for the new school year, students should take the course as soon as possible. Students will not receive parking permits until they have successfully completed the course. The first classes at Liberty High School are below:
- Saturday, April 21, 2012 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM
- Thursday, April 26, 2012 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM
- Saturday, May 5, 2012 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM
- Tuesday, May 15, 2012 4:00 PM to 8:30 PM
Students may register online at www.scaliveat25.org or by calling the South Carolina National Safety Council office at 803-732-6778. During the registration process, students should specify the name of their own high schools so certificates can be sent to the proper schools.
The one-time fee for Alive at 25 is $35. Payment, required before the first class, can be made in three ways: (1) through PayPal during online registration; (2) by mailing a money order to the South Carolina National Safety Council after online registration; or (3) by credit card over the phone. Credit cards will be charged a $3 transaction fee. Any student who cannot afford the $35 registration fee may contact the South Carolina National Safety Council at the number above and ask about financial assistance.
Parking permits will be issued only to students who successfully complete the course.
More information can be found on this page.
