Students are not guaranteed a parking space on school grounds or any area. 

Parking on school grounds is a privilege extended to students in good standing. Students with ongoing/serious school discipline infractions, school attendance violations, or who violate the law may be denied parking or have their parking privileges rescinded at any time.  This includes students who are habitually late for class. Students that are absent or tardy to class regularly, may have their attendance record reviewed by an administrator.  Students found to be in violation of the HHS attendance policy could have their parking permit suspended for a period or revoked for the remainder of the school year.   The administration reserves the right to revoke/suspend parking without warning in cases that need immediate attention.  When student attendance records are reviewed, both excused and unexcused tardiest/absences are considered.

All parking fines and any other school related fees/dues must be paid in full before parking spaces are assigned.

All financial obligations to the school must be satisfied prior to a parking permit being issued. This includes but is not limited to all past due parking fines (parking fines are due within 30 days of the violation), library fines, and debts from lost school materials (textbooks, calculators, etc.).  Students can apply for parking but must possess a valid Virginia driver’s license at the time parking permits are issued in late August.  To pick up their parking pass, students will be required to attach a copy of their valid Virginia driver’s license (paper temporary license is acceptable).

If you choose to carpool with other students, it is at your own risk.  If a student in that carpool violates the HHS parking policy, the parking pass will be suspended or revoked for the entire carpool. 

Do not drive to school until you have your parking permit in hand. You need to properly display it in your vehicle.

If there are any questions, please contact the security office during normal school hours 8am to 2:30pm at 703-810-2399 ( Jack Brown , Safety & Security Specialist).
