2025-2026 Student Parking Passes

Guidelines for purchasing a student parking pass for the 2025-2026 school year can be found on the Parking Passes webpage under the Students/Parents tab on our homepage. Students must be obligation-free and submit the documents required in order to purchase and receive a parking pass prior to the school year. Students approved to purchase a parking pass during the summer must do so through My School Bucks. Students that purchase a parking pass during the summer will be able to pick them up at Returning Patriot Orientation on Wednesday, August 6 from 1:00 - 3:00. Parking passes will not be sold the day of Returning Patriot Orientation - this is strictly a pick-up for students that purchased a pass during their assigned window. Students must pick their purchased parking pass up in-person and have their driver's license with them. Students that have purchased a parking pass and are unable to come in-person on August 6 will be able to pick up their parking pass on the first day of school in the JROTC classroom. No parking passes will be sold during the summer outside of the following dates:

Seniors: July 14 - August 1
Juniors: July 21 - August 1

Students that do not purchase a parking pass during the summer will be able to do so, depending on availability, during third period in the JROTC classroom.
