Ford Driving Skills for Life (Ford DSFL) was established in 2003 by Ford Motor Company Fund, the Governors Highway Safety Association, and a panel of safety experts to teach newly licensed teens the necessary skills for safe driving beyond what they learn in standard driver education programs.
The program is international in scope touching not only the United States but many areas around the world. The basic premise behind Ford Driving Skills for Life is to provide a step in the learning process, providing new skills and information not currently shared with newly licensed drivers in the basic driver education courses.
Training is conducted in both hands-on and web-based curriculum and the entire program is available at no cost. Training conducted under the Ford Driving Skills for Life program addresses both the inexperience factor as well as issues surrounding distracted driving. Results over the past ten years of this effort have been outstanding. For best results, we encourage both teens and parents to engage in the instruction together.
The Parent Teacher Student Association at Marcus High School would like to personally invite you to join! We want our students to see the importance we place on education by making PTSA a family experience, but we can only succeed with your support. Involved parents are informed parents!
Here are some of our focus areas:
- PTSA coordinate Marcus and Marcus 9 volunteer needs
- PTSA supports programs: PEP, Winning the Fight, Red Ribbon etc.
- PTSA provides college & prom scholarships
