big news from Green Light Driving Academy

Green Light Driving Academy, owned & operated by Tom & Jamie Pennington, is excited to announce, we have acquired Carroll Watkins Driving School in Keller.


 In  1975 Mr. Carroll Watkins opened his first driver education school in  Midland, TX & in 1980 moved his operations to North Texas. Jim Tom  & Diana Watkins Mills opened Carroll Watkins Driving School  providing driver education services to  Keller & the surrounding communities in 1989. Green Light Driving  Academy is proud to take the reins & lead CWDS by continuing the  legacy of quality driver training & customer service established by  Mr. Carroll Watkins, Mr. Jim Tom Mills & Mrs. Diana Watkins Mills.      


Carroll  Watkins Driving School will add additional services, such as Authorized  DPS Road Testing & document submission to help driving students  navigate the sometimes-difficult task of obtaining a driver’s license  & to continue educating new teen & adult drivers in North Texas  for many years to come.
