Enroll and get the Blue Card
Enroll in our six hours of behind-the-wheel. We enter your student in the state system and issue the E-Card (Blue Card), usually overnight and always within 48 hours of payment and the classroom being done.
Pass the permit test
Your student takes the Knowledge Test with the Blue Card. Study free with NorthStarDE.com, our Minnesota permit-practice app.
Six hours behind the wheel
Permit in hand, we schedule the six one-on-one hours around your family. Then your student holds the permit at least six months and logs 50 supervised hours (15 at night) before the road test.
Lessons that fit the Hastings High schedule
School hours
Hastings High runs 7:50 a.m. to 2:31 p.m. Our lessons run 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., depending on the instructor, so after school, evenings and weekends all work around classes, practices and jobs.
Pickup or meet at school
Pickup is included across our normal service area, and many families simply meet the instructor at school. For some addresses there may be a small per-lesson charge, so text us yours and we'll give you an exact answer.
Roads your student already knows
General Sieben Drive, Highway 55, Pleasant Drive, Vermillion Street (US 61), Highway 316 and the Hastings Bridge over the Mississippi. We teach on the roads your student drives to school and back.
The road test
Hastings has its own DVS exam station, a few minutes from Hastings High, so Hastings teens don't have to drive to Eagan for the road test. Confirm the location and book at drive.mn.gov.
Driving to Hastings High: student parking
The goal for most teens isn't just the license. It's driving themselves to school. Here's what Hastings High School says about student parking.
Hastings High School parking
- Parking on school property is by permit only. Cars without one may be booted and fined.
- A year permit starts at $200 (early bird, in August). After that, the price changes each month, so check the school's page for the current amount.
- A one-day permit is $3.
- The lot speed limit is 10 mph, and students may not go to their cars during the day without permission.
Plan backward from the parking lot
A student under 18 must hold the permit at least six months and be 16 before the road test. If your teen wants to drive to school by a certain trimester or semester, start the classroom and the Blue Card early enough to get there.
Text us your target date and we'll map out the timing.
Parking details come from the school's own published information as of November 2026 and can change. Always confirm with the school.
