- It is the responsibility of each member of the Mount Horeb High School community to read, understand & abide by the regulations.

- Early graduates must turn in their parking permit on their last day of school. They will be refunded 50% of the permit cost at this time. Permits will be reassigned for the 2nd semester to students on the wait list by the High School Office.
- Parking is REQUIRED in designated parking spaces only between 7:45am-3:30pm on School Days in all school parking lots.
- Parking in handicap spaces (without a valid state issued handicap decal) or in the cross-stripped access aisle, in fire lanes, driveways, on campus landscaping, loading zones (without a proper permit), sidewalks, crosswalks, bike lanes, bus stops, doorways, entryways, or other no parking zones is prohibited.
- Parking in Tech Ed or Ag Project designated spots require special permit issued by the tech ed or ag department & must be displayed. No permit may result in a ticket or loss of on campus parking privileges in the future.
- Motorcycles, mopeds, & powered scooters are prohibited from parking at bicycle racks. All such vehicles must utilize the appropriate motorcycle parking spaces as outlined in various lots on campus & updated annually on MHHS Parking Lot Map. Areas not specifically marked for parking are considered no parking zones.

- Parking spaces C1-C36 & D24-D56 are pull in only; no backing in of vehicles allowed. Those that do not comply with this rule will be subject to ticketing.
- Should someone park in your assigned parking space it is the expectation that you immediately contact the front office staff for a temporary parking assignment location until the issue is resolved. DO NOT just select another location. If able, please call with the car information that is parked in your spot to the office with you (if they have a permit, the permit #, license plate #, vehicle model/color, etc).
Enforcement & Citations:
- All parking rules & regulations are subject to enforcement 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

- Administration reserves the right to revoke parking on school property at anytime due to parking or school violations.
- Citations are written to ensure that permit parking areas are reserved for paying customers & to contribute to campus safety.
- Students who park in lots may have their vehicles searched by administration if there is reasonable suspicion to believe that a search will produce evidence of a violation of a particular law, school rule, or condition that endangers the safety or health of students, staff or others.
Notes to Remember:

- Vehicles parked in violation of rules may be towed away at the owner’s expense. The permit holder is liable for all violations issued against his/her permit.
