Student parking areas are furnished to students as a privilege. Students must park in the student parking area only and cannot park in designated visitor spaces. Students parking in unauthorized spaces can receive a fine of $30.00 for each offense. Availability of student parking spaces is limited, so students who drive to school or leave during the school day should plan accordingly.

Parking is authorized by permit only and permits must be purchased and appropriately displayed. All rules and regulations apply to all motor-driven vehicles. Ability to purchase a parking permit cannot be guaranteed.

Parking permits will be issued during registration week in August on a seniority basis by credit standing. Students will receive a list of parking lot and permit regulations at the time of registration.

When purchasing a parking permit, the student and parent/guardian will be required to sign a notice that parking illegally may cause the vehicles to be ticketed and/or towed.  Students and parents/guardians will be responsible for all fines and towing charges. School officials are permitted to search vehicles with reasonable suspicion.

The parking lot is considered an extension of the school building and all appropriate behavior expected in the building will also be expected in the parking lot. Any inappropriate behavior including, but not limited to, reckless driving will be subject to disciplinary action.

Parking spots have been numbered and these are the New Guidelines to be followed. Also, here are the Parking Maps with the numbers and lots for your reference.   

Information regarding work permits, including required documentation can be found here.
