Getting To Challenger
B Street Entrance:
- During the month of August the B Street parking lot will be the only available access point and parking available. Please use this entrance when coming to campus in August.
- During the school year the B Street Lot will be used just for buses, staff parking and for community members going to the Bethel Family Center (on the CHS campus).
A Street Entrance:
- A new parking lot was created with the new building and this is where students will park and parents are encouraged to drop-off and pick up students when school starts.
- Students will park in the A Street Lot and we encourage families to drop off/pick up students in the A Street Lot as well during the school year. This arrangement will greatly reduce congestion and will improve the safety of our parking areas.
- There will be several visitor and handicap parking spaces located near the Bethel Family Center to be used by our community members. To access these, please enter campus though the B Street Entrance. There are also ADA parking spaces in the A Street lot.
