Parking and Driving
A Vehicle Registration and Parking Permit form must be Tiled annually for students who drive themselves to campus and are regularly allowed to leave school for college classes, internships, work study, tech campus, and doctors’ appointments. Younger siblings must be listed on the Vehicle Registration and Parking Permit on Tile to leave early with older siblings.
PARENTS MUST CALL THE ATTENDANCE OFFICE TO REQUEST THEIR STUDENT BE ALLOWED TO LEAVE CAMPUS.
Permits-To-Leave will not be sent to a student’s classroom. Students are expected to check-out with the Attendance Office and pick up their own Permit-To-Leave Pass. Students who fail to check-out with the Attendance Office will have their attendance coded as Unexcused (U).
Operating a motor vehicle on campus is a privilege available to students who demonstrate responsible behavior in the operation of their vehicles. The student fee to register a car and receive a current year parking decal is $5.00. The administration reserves the right to levy Tines and suspend or revoke the driving privileges of any student who violates Oklahoma traffic laws or the following regulations on campus:
- ALL MARKED SPACES ARE FOR FACULTY, STAFF, and VISITOR USE ONLY. VEHICLES IMPROPERLY PARKED WILL BE FINED AND TOWED AT THE OWNER’S EXPENSE.
- All motor vehicles driven to school by students must be properly registered. Current, valid, NHHS parking hangtags are to be properly displayed in the front, driver’s-side windshield/dashboard or on rear-view mirror and clearly visible. IMPROPER/NO PARKING DECAL ($5/DAY FINE); RESTRICTED PARKING VIOLATION ($5/DAY FINE); OTHER IMPROPER DRIVING BEHAVIOR/VIOLATIONS ($10/DAY FINE).
- All students are to obey the 5 MPH campus speed limit and Oklahoma traffic laws when operating a motor vehicle on campus. FINES MAY BE LEVIED.
- Vehicles are to be operated in a safe and responsible manner at all times. FINES MAY BE LEVIED. Due to the many minor accidents caused by students backing into parking spaces, vehicles must be parked head forward only. FINES MAY BE LEVIED
- Student vehicles are to be parked in student-designated areas. VEHICLES IMPROPERLY PARKED WILL BE TOWED AT THE OWNER’S EXPENSE
- In an effort to secure student vehicles, students are not permitted in the parking lots during class periods or between classes. Students who go to the parking lot without an authorized pass will be subject to disciplinary action.
- Any student involved in an accident or who has had his/her vehicle tampered with or vandalized should Tile a report with the Administration and campus police.
- ALL vehicles on school property are subject to search by school officials.
All vehicles should be registered within the first five (5) days of school or within three (3) days of the student earning driving privileges, whichever is applicable. Vehicles that do not have the proper tags or are illegally parked are subject to being ticketed or towed at the owner’s expense. Under no circumstances will students be allowed to go to or sit in vehicles during the school day.
The principal’s decision to limit or revoke parking privileges is final and non-appealable.
