With the growing size of our senior class and the limited amount of parking spaces available at our facility, we MUST adhere to the following parking policies.  

Required Parking Passes:

• Each graduate will receive TWO parking passes for the main campus.

• Parking passes will be given out at the END of graduation rehearsal and MUST be displayed to gain access to the campus parking lot.   

Graduate Parking:

• To park on the main campus, you MUST have a parking pass.  If a graduate chooses to park on the main campus, they MUST use one of their assigned parking passes.  Otherwise, graduates MUST be dropped off in the band loop.  No other drop-off location will be allowed.  

• The parking pass MUST remain displayed throughout the ceremony to prevent towing.

Handicap Parking:

• Handicap spaces will be available, but will require the use of one of the assigned parking passes.  

Overflow Parking:

• Overflow lots at Gum Springs Elementary and West Jackson Middle School will be available for guests who do not have a parking pass.  

• Shuttles will run between these lots and the main campus.  Once the spaces are full at the overflow lots, NO ADDITIONAL PARKING WILL BE AVAILABLE. 

• The shuttle service begins at 8:30 AM and concludes approximately 75 minutes after the ceremony has ended.

Best Practices for Parking on Graduation Day:

1. Carpooling Plan: Coordinate with friends or family to carpool. Ensure that vehicles using your parking passes have the appropriate number of passengers. Always comply with seatbelt regulations.    

2. Drop-off and Meet-Up Plan: Arrange to drop off your graduate at the band loop by 7:40 AM. Graduates will not have their cell phones, so a planned meeting place is necessary after the ceremony.

3. Communicate Parking Policies: Inform your family and friends about the parking rules. Guests without a parking pass will not be permitted entry.

4. Overflow Parking:  Utilize designated overflow parking areas and shuttle service. Avoid illegal parking on Skelton Road, 332, and nearby subdivisions or businesses. 

5. Share Live Stream Link: Consider sharing the live stream link with family members who prefer to watch the ceremony from the comfort of their homes.
