Alive at 25
Is your student planning to drive to school next year? Make sure they have completed Alive at 25 before purchasing a parking pass. We encourage students to register early at SCNSC.ORG/A25 to secure a seat. Spots fill up quickly during the summer, often two weeks in advance.
Alive at 25 is more than just a requirement - it’s a life-saving defensive driving course that empowers young drivers to make safer choices behind the wheel. Instructed by local law enforcement officers, your student will learn the importance of taking responsibility while driving and how to handle real-world situations with confidence.
