Jon and Suzanne Carpenter have been licensed Driver's Education Instructors for 20+ years by TDLR. They have taught Driver's Education in Grayson County and at their own school in Whitesboro, which opened in 2019. They have since moved to Midlothian to operate a family run business. Jon is also licensed by the DPS Third Party to administer road tests from our location. Both hold master's degrees in education, special education, and counseling and are retired from full time careers in public schools, charter schools, and college level adult education programs. "We love teaching Driver's Education and we want our students to learn safety skills and to make progress with confidence in their driving tasks. We also strive to get our students and their families to the door of DPS successfully and be able to have a stress-free experience when obtaining their permits and driver's licenses."
