Sherid's Driving School History
Sherid's Driving School is a family owned and operated business that was established in 1961 by "Moe" Sherid. John Sherid followed in his father's footsteps by serving 26 years with the PA State Police. After retiring from the PSP, he continues Moe's legacy in teaching driving lessons throughout Westmoreland County. John enjoys the time he spends with his students. We celebrate over 55 years of service taking pride in sharing the road with our students.
Sherid's Driving School is an active member of the Pennsylvania Association of Professional Driving Schools, or PAPDS. We attend seminars to keep our instructors current with the challenges new drivers face on a daily basis.
Sherid’s Driving School is community oriented. We assist with the following organizations:
• PA Office of Vocational Rehabilitation
• Westmoreland Case Management & Supports
• Westmoreland Community Action
• Sisters of Charity Seton Hill
• Saint Vincent College
• Private Industry Council of Westmoreland, Fayette Inc.
