Our Driving School was started in 1994 when the California School system dropped free Drivers Training from the public high schools. As a teacher and coach in Visalia Unified since 1974, Bill Corliss has been dedicated for more than 30 years to teaching local students to drive.

Mr. Corliss taught Drivers Ed and Drivers Training at Golden West High School, coordinated Drivers Training for VUSD and was actively involved in CASE, the statewide driving association. He also holds a specialist college degree and credential in teaching driving and has taught driving classes for AAA and the California State University system.

When California dropped the high school driving program, Mr. Corliss saw a pressing need to start a driving school that would provide highly trained and college-educated instructors for the local students. (Although all Driving Schools must use licensed instructors, the requirements are very minimal!)

Our Driving School is a true family business: with Bill providing the driving expertise, wife Pam working behind-the-scenes as the CFO and and daughters Cristin and Carli serving as DMV Licensed Instructors.
