Narrative:
My student was on his 1ST solo flight. After his final landing, tower told him to keep his speed up to the next taxiway for traffic on final. The student misjudged the speed of the aircraft and when he attempted to make the turn, the right main wheel ended up on the grass. The student was unable to turn the aircraft out of the grass because a taxiway sign was blocking the wing. The runway as closed for 10-15 mins while I went out with airport security to push that portion of the aircraft clear of the sign. No damage occurred to the aircraft or airport property and the student was uninjured. Airport traffic used an intersecting runway during this time. I talked with the local controller after the incident and told him it was the student's 1ST solo flight. The controller responded 'I figured it was because you guys had landed and he came right back out.' my student demonstrated his ability to fly the aircraft solo without any doubt in my mind. He became nervous and tried to do everything he could to accommodate the controller's request.
