Introduction
-
Student parking is a privilege for juniors and seniors in good standing and with a valid driver’s license. All student vehicles must be by registering registered with the student activities office on the official form. Any changes require a new form to be completed in the activities office and a new sticker will be issued at no charge. In order to be issued a parking sticker, students must complete the appropriate paperwork in the activities office, and must show proof of a valid driver’s license and a valid car registration.
Vehicles should be locked after arrival, and no student is permitted in the parking lot during school hours without obtaining a pass from an assistant principal and signing out in the assistant principals’ office.
The school retains authority to conduct routine patrols of student parking lots and inspections of the exteriors and interiors of student vehicles. This includes the use of canine units.
Reminder: When students park on school property without an FHS sticker, their vehicle could be towed. Students who park without authorization will not be allowed to apply for a parking sticker in the future. They will also be subject to disciplinary action.

Day Tag
-
Ten (10) spaces are reserved for students (seniors) who have a special circumstance and need to drive to school. A parent/guardian and the student still must review the rules and sign the form that indicates that the rules have been reviewed. Once that procedure has been completed, one-day tags should be acquired during lunch the day before in the assistant principals’ office. Students must come with their car registration and their driver’s license. Failure to return “day tag” will result in suspension of parking privileges and disciplinary action.
