Student Parking Regulations
Driving and parking a vehicle on campus is a privilege afforded to students. With this privilege comes the responsibility to abide by certain rules and regulations. At the discretion of the Administration team, students may lose the privilege to drive and park on all school property if the rules and regulations are not observed.

Parking Regulations:
Administrators can revoke student driving privileges at anytime.
All cars and motorcycles driven to school by students must be registered and parked in the designated student parking areas (see map below). A parking tag will be issued to all registered students. The parking tag must be displayed in the front windshield, visible by administration.
Students, who park on school property without a permit, or those who park in an area not designated for student use, may be subject to disciplinary action. Repeat offenders may have their permit revoked or their vehicle towed at the owner's expense.
A fee will be charged for a replacement parking tag if the tag is lost due to disciplinary action. Students are prohibited from loitering in the parking lot. Students must have permission from the Assistant Principal's Office to enter the parking lot during school hours.
The speed limit on school property is 15 m.p.h. Students who speed or drive recklessly on school grounds can have their parking privileges revoked.
If students are not parked in designated parking areas or do not have a parking pass, or parking pass is not visible than students may receive a parking ticket. Students are REQUIRED to pay their tickets within 10 school days. It is a student's responsibility to report any parking tickets to parents. (see below for parking ticket procedures).
Students will not be issued a parking pass with temporary plates. Students can order a parking pass and will be issued a temporary pass until the student can provide the permanent plates.
Use or access of student vehicles is prohibited until the end of the school day unless permission is received through the Assistant Principal's Office.
Students may lose parking privileges if they leave campus during the day without permission. Disciplinary action through the Assistant Principal office is enforced for students who leave campus during the school day, without approval from the AP office or attendance.
Students shall not place, keep or maintain any article or material that is forbidden by district policy in a vehicle parked on school property. Vehicles parked on school property may be searched by school officials if there is reasonable suspicion to believe the vehicle contains articles or materials prohibited by district policy.
All campus parking will be first-come-first-served. As always, purchasing a parking permit does not guarantee a space will be available. All cars on the VHS premises will require a parking permit.
Driving/parking violations will result in loss of driving privileges, fines, or other disciplinary consequences.
Parking Zones (see below): Green is designated for student parking. Orange is designated for staff parking only. Students must park in designated zones or be subject to tickets or boots for repeat infractions. Students must be mindful of any no-parking signage (such as fire lanes or reserved spaces). Street parking is also available on McNeil Dr. on a first come first serve basis.
