2022-2023 Student Parking Permit Application Procedures
The parking application for the 2022-2023 school year will be available on the LHS web page beginning July 1, 2023. We will be accepting applications from both juniors and seniors. However, all juniors that apply will be placed on a waiting list. Juniors will only be issued permits if we have spaces available after all the needs of seniors that qualify for permits have been issued permits. This is due to the physical limitations of not having enough parking spaces available for all our student drivers.
In order to apply for a student parking permit, you must have a valid driver's license (not a learner's permit) AND must be a junior or senior.
Helpful Information:
- Student parking applications, including the required documents, must be submitted this year online using the following form: Parking Application
- Applications will be accepted from juniors/seniors and who meet the eligibility criteria related to grades, attendance, and discipline and who can demonstrate a need to drive. (For example: zero period, late entry/early release, college, sport/organization, activities, etc.)
- 9th and 10th graders will not be issued parking permits. 11th graders will only be issued permits if there is enough parking available after 12th graders have been issued permits.
- Parking Permit Fee will be $ 75.00. Do not submit the Parking Permit Fee with the application.
- Students receiving an acceptance notification must attend the mandatory Young Driver’s Safety Initiative training. Students will then receive their parking lot designation and permit. Students can make their payment via MySchoolBucks once they have received an acceptance email.
- Students will be assigned to either parking Lot A (located in front of Leonardtown High School) or Lot B (located in front of the Tech Center).
- Students parking in unassigned areas or not properly displaying their permit will incur a $30.00 fine for each violation and will be in danger of losing their parking permit.
- No student may park on LHS school grounds after Tuesday, August 23, 2022, without a valid LHS parking permit.
- Additional parking rules and regulations can be found on the application on Family ID.
- Please note that driving to school is a privilege, not a right. Buses are available for all students within the SMCPS attendance zones. There are limited parking spaces available for student use at LHS, therefore not all requests for parking will be able to be accommodated.

** No 11th graders have been approved for parking permits yet. We have 485 12th graders and only 305 parking spots. After 12th grade applications have been reviewed and permits issued; we will begin approving 11th grade permits based upon need and the amount of parking spaces available. We understand and apologize for the inconvenience this creates for our 11th grade drivers and their families.
