Guilford County Schools Parking Policy- Please read carefully. 

Automobile searches: Students are permitted to park on school premises as a matter of privilege, not of right. As a condition for obtaining a permit and parking a vehicle on the school premises, a student and the student’s legal parent, legal guardian, or legal custodian must agree, in writing, to allow school officials to search any vehicle which the student parks on the property. The school retains the authority to conduct routine patrols of the student parking lots and inspections of the exteriors of student automobiles on school property. The interiors of student vehicles may be inspected whenever a school authority has reasonable suspicion to believe that illegal or unauthorized materials or other evidence of illegal activities are contained inside. Such patrols and inspections may be conducted without notice and without further student consent. Law enforcement may also be called to search student vehicles when in the principal’s discretion, a law enforcement presence would be helpful for any reason.

Permits are issued on a first come, first served basis, with seniors having priority, then juniors, and lastly sophomores. If a student drives a different vehicle, or changes vehicles during the school year, they must still display their student parking pass. Contact the main office if you need assistance if you must change registered vehicles during the school year. 

2. Students must park in their designated numbered parking space. No parking or driving on grass areas, sidewalks, unmarked pavement, or faculty/bus lots. Vehicles not parked in designated parking spaces are subject to towing at the owner’s expense. If someone parks in your space, please see administration.
