HCPS bus drivers participated in professional development for the new GPS system this week.
Attention: HCHS Parents/Student Drivers
Effective July 1, 2022, the VDOE requires any high school student who applies to park a vehicle on school property to provide evidence that the student possesses a valid driver's license. Below you will find a link to an application that you will need to print off for students planning on driving to school. Parking passes will not go on sale until open house on August 7, 2024 from 12:30 PM-6:30 PM. This application must be completed in advance and returned when you purchase your parking pass. There are sections where parents and students will have to complete. Students will also have to show that they have a valid driver's license and the cost is $20. If you don't have a form completed at the time of purchase then you will have to take a form, fill it out, and bring it back before we can issue one. We thank you in advance.
