Parking Information
Due to the construction at Sparkman High School, there will be limited student parking for the upcoming school year. Please read the following information:
All Seniors will be able to park on campus if they have paid their fees and completed proper paperwork on Sparkman Senators’ Day.
Due to limited parking, Junior parking will be done through a lottery system for available parking spaces.
Juniors may turn in their proper paperwork on Sparkman Senators’ Day and will be notified before school starts if selected to pay their parking fee.
Juniors who are not selected are encouraged to carpool or ride the bus to school.
There will be no parking spaces for sophomores this year.
Parking fees for all Madison County School Students is $40
Parents please note that many seniors are in the Co-Op program and will leave campus at 11: 30 a.m.
We fully anticipate that after the construction projects are completed that there will be enough parking for juniors and seniors to be able to park on campus for the 2020-2021 school year.
