Lone Peak High School warned in an Oct. 23 announcement that it may not be able to offer driver education classes between June and September 2027. The potential disruption is tied to the reconfiguration of the Alpine School District, which is scheduled to split into three successor districts on July 1, 2027.
The school's Oct. 23 announcement extended the uncertain window for classes through September, while an earlier Oct. 14 update on the school's driver education web page had listed the window as June through August 2027. Students who will be new to Aspen Peaks School District in the 2027-28 school year, or those not currently enrolled in the Alpine or Aspen Peaks districts, will be unable to take driver education from May through September 2027.
For current students, the school stated it is not sure if it can offer classes during that period and will provide updates through its counseling department and the LPHS Driver Education web page. The school is advising families to plan ahead, recommending that students take driver education at least five months before they intend to get a license. Classroom sessions are held at 10198 North 4800 West in Highland, with range instruction located at 510 Caveman Blvd. in American Fork.
The disruption is a consequence of the Alpine School District breakup following the passage of Proposition 11 by Utah County voters in 2024. The split will create the Aspen Peaks, Lake Mountain, and Timpanogos school districts. While the three successor boards approved an asset-distribution agreement in June 2026, Alpine School District will retain full responsibility for all schools until the July 1, 2027, transition date. The Lone Peak announcement noted that disruptions are expected at all high schools within each of the three new districts, though it did not detail specific plans for other local schools like Lehi High or Skyridge High School.
Families seeking driver education slots can register for the remaining 2026-27 class and range dates on the LPHS Driver Education web page.
