Columbia High Wins $480 with Chevy Drive for Perfection Program

Columbia High School won $480 thanks to the Chevy Drive for Perfection program.

Parents, students, staff and community members were encouraged to test drive a Chevrolet last school year. Every time they test drove one of the vehicles, the school received $40. The contest ran from April to May. Columbia High had the highest amount of test drives of any high school in the Columbia area. 

The check will be used for attendance incentives for the 2011-12 school year.

The Chevy Drive for Perfection program has been in existence for the past three years. Seniors at participating schools who have 98 percent or higher attendance records are entered in a drawing to win a brand-new Chevrolet car. Columbia High student Taylor Patterson was the first winner of a New Chey Cruze in 2009.
