John Miles Chevrolet Buick GMC has teamed up with Rockdale County High School, Heritage High School and Salem High School for the 2010-2011 school year in the Chevy Drive For Perfection program. The program will award Seniors who achieve 98% or better attendance for the first 180 days of the school year with a chance to win an All-New 2011 Chevy Cruze.
According to the Education Board of Georgia, high school students who have logged 98% or better attendance records during the 2010-11 school year, will learn that the payoff could be extra special when Chevrolet hands over the keys to a brand new Cruze as a reward. High school seniors at more than 59 schools in Georgia will become eligible for a chance to win a Chevy Cruze after completing 180 days of 98% or better attendance at their respective schools.
In its first year in Georgia, Chevy Drive for Perfection is an initiative presented by Chevrolet and the local Chevrolet dealers in conjunction with the local school boards.
The program was created to give seniors an additional incentive to finish their high school careers strong in order to adequately prepare for post-secondary education or the workforce. According to the US Department of Education, students who have poor attendance for reasons other than illness are also more likely to drop out and to fall behind their peers in the classroom.
Attendance was determined by an eligible student's attendance record for the first 180 days of the 2010-11 school year as submitted by the local education agencies. In order to select the winner, final lists are developed with eligible students from all participating schools. All qualified seniors must be present to win the Chevy Cruze and other prizes.

And young drivers can save with greater fuel economy, too. The 1.4L Chevrolet Cruze Eco can achieve 40 mpg on the highway!
