Parking Pass Information

  • All available parking passes for 2025-26 have been issued.

    As we prepare for the upcoming 2026-27 school year, we want to share the eligibility criteria and process for parking passes. Our goal is to encourage and reward positive student behaviors. Please review the following criteria carefully, as meeting them will be required for consideration:

    1. Students must achieve 90% attendance or higher in the previous semester and maintain positive attendance throughout the school year. 

    2. Students must have passed all classes from the previous semester.

    3. Students must not receive any major referrals or suspensions.

    4. Have no outstanding detentions from the previous semester.

    Please note that students are not guaranteed a parking pass for any reason. To ensure fairness, parking passes are prioritized by seniority: seniors who meet the criteria are considered first, followed by juniors who meet the criteria.

    Additionally, enrolling in Zero Hour Class does not prioritize a parking pass. All students who meet the eligibility requirements will have an equal opportunity to earn one.

    Parking pass process: 

    1. Students will receive an interest form from the Dean’s office in the first week of April 2026. This is a mandatory Google Form for students to be included in our initial candidate lottery. This Google Form will close on May 1, 2026. 

    2. Students who meet the above criteria will then receive an invitation to attend a parking education class. 

    3. Students must attend a mandatory parking education class hosted by the Deans and SRO at the end of the school year. Multiple opportunities will be available during the make-up periods of finals week. 

      1. If there is an extenuating circumstance, please contact the Dean’s office. 

    4. You must have a valid license, vehicle registration, and insurance at the start of the school year. We will not hold any passes for future purchase. 

    5. Only full-year parking passes will be available for purchase. 

    More reminders regarding the application process and deadlines will be shared. Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us maintain a fair and responsible parking system.
