Welcome to Driver Education!

My name is Jeff Wollenweber.  I've been teaching Dr. Ed. for the past 12 years.  I graduated from Eastern Illinois University, Majoring in Physical Education, with Minors in Health, and Driver Education.  My first teaching job was in Carrollton, Illinois where I taught for 12 years, before moving on to University High School.  It takes time and practice to learn how to be a good driver.  With the information learned in class and with your guidance, as parents, together we can create good teenage drivers.

Hi, my name is Eric Lyons.  I graduated from Eureka College in 2002.  I majored in Physical Education, Accounting, Business and Driver Education.  I live in Lincoln, IL with my wife Maureen and our two dogs Cricket and Jamie.  I enjoy golfing, swimming, bowling, and poker.  This fall I'm planning on starting a masters degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis in sports psychology.  Along with teaching Driver's Education and Physical Education; I'm also head girl's track coach and assistant football coach at U-high.
