Permission for students to drive and park vehicles on school system property is a privilege, not a right. In order to be granted this privilege, students must obtain a student parking permit each school year, which requires students and parents/guardians to annually attend a driver safety session and to pay a $15 fee for the parking permit (check or exact change). Students must also comply with all school rules related to driving and parking on school property in order to retain this privilege. Parking on GHS property is ONLY for juniors and seniors.
All juniors and seniors who wish to park on school grounds must attend a Safe Driving Presentation prior to receiving a parking permit. Students must be accompanied by their parent/legal guardian for the duration of the presentation. Once the presentation has started, late students & parents will not be admitted - No exceptions. Parent/guardian must be with the student during the entire presentation.
Safe Driving Presentation dates at GHS:
- Tuesday, September 3, 2019, at 6:00 pm, Auditorium

Safe Driving presentations will be held at each high school in the county. Students may attend any presentation at any school. If you are attending a presentation at another school, please contact that school in advance to confirm the date and time.

- You can purchase your permits from Ms. Barnoski in the Front Office during the school day during lunch shifts and before classes start. Permits will not be given during class times.
