Parking

  • Overview

    Students driving on campus are subject to the same laws governing the roads and highways. Laws pertaining to reckless driving, exhibition of speed, mechanical violations, registration, and parking are applicable to all vehicles in the parking lot.  

    Any law enforcement officer is authorized to patrol and cite. Pedestrians have the right-of-way.  The campus maximum speed limit is 10 m.p.h.  Vehicles may not be driven through campus.  Students found operating their vehicles in an unsafe or reckless manner (including exceeding the 10 m.p.h. limit) may be fined and/or referred to an Assistant Principal and may lose their parking privileges on campus.

  • Parking Permit

    A displayed permit is required to park at WPHS.  Because there are more student drivers than there are student parking spaces, only juniors and seniors are eligible for parking permits.  To receive a parking permit the vehicle must be registered with the school. You will need a copy of your driver’s license and proof of insurance. The parking permit must be current for the school year and displayed in plain view on the backside of the inside rearview mirror.  Students who are issued permits are expected to abide by all rules. Parking in the following locations is prohibited:

    • Parking outside designated parking spaces (a designated space is a defined space between 2 white lines)

    • Staff Only areas 

    • Visitors Parking area 

    • Painted curbs (red, yellow, green)

    • Fire lanes 

    • Any area behind the school or theater 

    • Handicapped (unless you have a permit)

    • Traffic lanes

    • Bus loading zone

    Parking and/or parking lot infractions may result in suspension, fines, and/or loss of parking privilege. Fines for parking violations are listed on your registration form and range from $35 to $280.

    Seniors may purchase reserved parking spaces through Student Government. Please note that these spaces are only “reserved” for the first two periods of the day, and after this time become open to all vehicles. 

    Note: Having off-campus first period and/or an off-campus ROP course in the morning greatly reduces the opportunity to legally park on or near the campus.  If parking is a concern for you it is NOT advised to have off-campus first or second period.

  • Other Forms of Transportation

    (Electric Scooters, Mopeds, HoverBoards, Bicycles, Skateboards, Skates, Shoe Skates, Scooters, etc.)

    All motorized scooters/mopeds or other modes of transportation (examples listed above) are not to be in classroom areas or buildings. If used on campus they will be subject to confiscation (with return only to the parent or guardian).  Repeated offenses may result in suspension.

    They should be parked and locked in the designated areas.  The school is not responsible for vandalism or theft; however, report all thefts/vandalism to the Assistant Principals.

  • Parking Permit Application (Seniors Only)
    Due to limited spaces and our growing enrollment, we only have space for Seniors.
