How does my student obtain a Driving Learner's Permit?
The process for applying for learner's permit is located on The Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Administration's website.

If a student is under 16 when they apply they must provide a proof of attendance form, located below. This should be filled out by the student's family before asking the school to complete it. Students can drop off the form in the school counseling office and pick it up after 24 hours.

Where can my student gather service learning hours?
Students can earn service learning hours as they complete projects throughout their time in BCPS; however, some students will still require more hours. These students must seek out volunteer opportunities through local community programs and events. Many students will also volunteer with religious organizations, after school events at Patapsco, or Patapsco PTSA projects.
