Parking registration for the Class of 2020 seniors began on July 22. SENIORS ONLY receive assigned parking spots, assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. Seniors will receive their assigned parking spots on orientation day, Aug. 6.
Important: In order to be considered for a parking spot, your senior must have a license and actively driving a car to school by the first day of school, Tuesday, August 6, 2019. Otherwise please DO NOT register him/her for a parking spot.
Underclass Car Registration
All underclass students who currently have a valid driver’s license and plan to drive to school need to register their car for the 2019-20 school year! All underclassmen who complete this registration will be able to park in open spots or in the gravel lots. Parking tags will be distributed on Orientation Day.
Note: Each registered student must show proof of a valid driver’s license before a parking tag will be issued. As a student becomes eligible, the registration form can be filled out at anytime during the school year.
