Phil’s Driving School has been in operation since 1948. The driving school had been serving the East Haven community and other surrounding areas to help anyone interested in learning how to drive on Connecticut roads and get their licenses.
The school uses the AAA curriculum to teach students. Traffic safety experts have made the curriculum specialized in driver education. The classes are taught by Casey Hublebank, who has his master’s degree in health and safety education.
The school has many great instructors to teach these students the rules and safety on the road. Alongside the fantastic instructors, the school brings in guest speakers about many topics, especially road safety. During the online Zoom classes with Hublebank, many guest speakers join to talk about the effects drunk driving has had on their family. The guest speakers are able to call attention to the importance of safety on the roadways not just for yourself but also for others.
The school has many sponsors including the well-known MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), !MPACT (Mourning Parents ACT), Matt’s Mission Fund, Operation Lifesaver, Donate Life New England, as well as Click It for Cassie.
Phil’s Driving School is interested in sponsoring some of the athletic teams here at EHHS. At EHHS, many students, staff, and families of EHHS have had experience with Phil’s and were past customers. Phil’s has sponsored some athletic teams in the past. They once sponsored Little League teams with a mix of high school and middle school students. It helped their business grow this way and get new customers. Phil’s is interested in posting sponsorships at home games with posters to promote their business.
