How One Way Got Started — And Why It Still Matters
One Way Driving School began with a simple goal: give local students the kind of driver education that actually prepares them for the real world. Founded by longtime instructor “Coach Johnny” and his wife Alice, One Way was built from the ground up right here in San Marcos — and it’s stayed rooted in the community ever since.
With over 30 years in safety instruction and a deep background in coaching, Johnny brought a practical, no-nonsense structure to the program. Today, that same approach is delivered by a tight-knit team, including his daughter Michelle, who brings energy and clarity to the classroom. We’ve trained hundreds of students — and we treat every one like they matter. Because they do.

Our Mission: Train Smarter. Drive Safer. Stay Ready.
Driving isn’t just a skill — it’s a responsibility. Our mission is to make sure every student who comes through our program is equipped to handle the road with control, awareness, and long-term confidence.
We focus on what works: structured lessons, real instruction, and a calm, professional environment. Whether you're a teen learning the basics or an adult rebuilding confidence, we meet you where you're at — and help you get where you need to go.
