Student Parking Violations
STUDENTS, if you wish to park on campus you need to purchase a STUDENT PARKING PASS from the Main Office (Ms. Daniels). Passes are $40 (cash-only). Please be advised that even having a STUDENT PARKING PASS does not guarantee that you have a parking space on campus. Also, students must display their STUDENT PARKING PASS sticker on their front windshield identifying your car. Without a valid sticker, you run the risk of getting a difficult-to-remove warning sticker, tire boot, or being towed.
If you park in Visitor Parking and are a student, you run the risk of getting a difficult-to-remove warning sticker and possibly a tire boot.
If you park in Senior Painted Spots and are a student, but did not pay for a specific painted spot, you run the risk of getting a difficult-to-remove warning sticker and possibly a tire boot.
If you park your car in front of the loading dock, a storage shed, a gate, Fire Lane, or other No Parking area and are a student, you run the risk of getting a difficult-to-remove warning sticker, tire boot or being towed at your expense.
If you park in Handicap Parking and are a staff member without a handicap permit, you run the risk of getting a difficult-to-remove sticker, tire boot, and/or $500 fine.
The WHHS Student Parking Permit Registration 26-27 form must be completed in advance to obtain your parking pass.
