A quick reminder for all students who drive to school—please make sure you are following our parking guidelines:

• If you have a parking pass, you may park in the student lot or annex lot.

• If you don’t have a pass, you can still drive to school, but you must park in the upper or lower Duprey lots.

• Parking is first come, first served. If you have 1st or 2nd-period late arrival, plan to park in the annex lot, as the main campus fills up first.

• Do not park in visitor spaces or along the edge of the lot—this could result in losing your parking pass.

• We are sold out of parking passes for the year.

• And finally, please respect traffic patterns and speed limits to keep our campus safe for everyone.
