5. Is there on campus parking for students?

Parking on campus will be available for seniors at a cost of $200 for the year. Seniors may purchase their parking stickers on our EFUNDS electronic payment system using these Parking Permit Instructions. Seniors will also be able to purchase parking permits at the high school (Campus Support Room - near the Gazebo entrance) on Thursday, August 25 and Friday, August 26 from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. 

 

Once school starts, parking permits may be purchased during regular school hours. When purchasing tickets at school, students should bring cash or a check made payable to ABRHS. Any senior who owes a parking fine from their junior year will not be issued a parking sticker until the fine is paid. 


During school hours parents and visitors are welcome to park in the designated visitor parking spaces at the high school. Please do not park in any numbered parking space as all of these spaces have been assigned to faculty and staff.

The speed limit through the parking lots and access roads to the ABRHS campus is 15 mile per hour. Please obey all speed limits and stop signs while driving on campus.

The high school campus has a specific drop off and pick up areas for parents, students, and buses. The direction of traffic flow changes in the morning and the afternoon. We ask that all visitors please follow the direction of the high school campus support staff. The campus support staff is available to answer your questions and direct you through our campus.
