Student Parking

 

Student Parking at AHS/SILSA

Parking will only be made available to senior students for the 2026-27 school year.

 

Parking Permit Details

  • ONLY being sold online at GoFan.co
  • Limited number available for purchase for $125.00**
  • Only distributed to senior students who meet eligibility requirements
  • Parking permits are only applicable for the current school year
  • Must be displayed on the outside left rear back window of the registered vehicle

Students may register up to two of their family vehicles. Current vehicle registration and proof of vehicle insurance must be presented for the alternate family vehicle.

Students commuting to school who reside in the same household—both possessing a valid driver’s license and who will take turns driving—will be designated as “carpoolers”. Each carpooling student needs to submit their driver’s license information to be held on file in the main office.

Electronic gates limit access to the student parking lot during school hours. Students will be required to scan an electronic badge to gain entry into the student lot.

Parking permit fees will not be prorated or refunded if student parking privileges are revoked or if a student relocates during the school year.

**Students who take courses at AB-Tech are issued parking passes free of charge and are encouraged to park on that campus. Passes for dual-enrolled students may be obtained from the AB-Tech Police Department in the AB-Tech Mission/Conference Center building.

Eligibility Requirements
Parking permits will only be made available to students who have:

  • Current enrollment status at AHS/SILSA as a senior student
  • No outstanding student financial obligations to their school
  • Current vehicle registration

Refunds and/or parking permits will not be issued to students that do not present all required posted documentation or meet eligibility requirements upon permit pick-up. Eligibility requirements are verified prior to permit distribution.

Asheville High School Parking Regulations
Parking a vehicle on school property is a privilege, not a right. Students who operate a vehicle on campus should fully understand their duties and responsibilities and are subject to the following consequences:

  • Revocation of parking privilege
  • Vehicle wheel immobilization
  • Towing and storage of the vehicle at the owner's expense
  • Legal or disciplinary action

The parking regulations listed below are in effect each school day from 7 AM until 4 PM.

  1. Current year parking permits must be purchased prior to parking a vehicle on campus.
  2. Parking permits must be displayed on the outside left rear back window of the registered vehicle.
  3. Parking permits are issued for specific vehicles and are not transferable. If the vehicle is sold, the permit should be destroyed. The AHS Main Office should be notified immediately of any changes in vehicle, license plate, or insurance.
  4. Parking permits may not be sold or loaned to another student for use.
  5. Use of expired or falsified parking permits is prohibited.
  6. Students with a valid parking permit may ONLY park in designated student parking lots.
  7. Students may not park on the grass, a sidewalk, any road area, faculty parking space, or any other inappropriate space. Students may only occupy one parking space.
  8. Students may not leave campus for lunch.
  9. Loitering in the parking lot is prohibited. Students are to leave their vehicles immediately upon parking, and are not permitted to return to their vehicles except for departure or must have written permission from an administrator or the SRO to be in the student lot during school hours. Teachers cannot give a student permission to leave the AHS campus.
  10. A radio, tape player, or other mechanical sound making device or instrument from within the motor vehicle cannot be louder than necessary for the convenient hearing by persons inside the vehicle in areas adjoining the school.
  11. Safe operation of motor vehicles on campus is required. No student is allowed to ride in the back of a pick-up or flat-bed truck. Unsafe acts (i.e. riding on car hoods, bumpers, radiators, fenders, spinning wheels, burning rubber, running board, etc.) will result in suspension of campus parking privileges.
  12. Students who drive and park vehicles on campus are subject to all traffic laws and school rules. Vehicles must not travel in excess of 10 miles per hour.
  13. Students with 10 unexcused absences, 10 truancies, or discipline issues may have their parking privileges suspended or revoked until such issues are resolved.
  14. Vehicles may NOT be left on campus overnight unless prior permission has been granted. Towing should be arranged by the student for disabled vehicles.
  15. Handicapped parking is available as needed on an assigned basis only.
  16. If a student's driver's license is revoked FOR ANY REASON, students must notify the AHS Main Office immediately; that student's parking permit will be revoked and resold.
  17. Accidents on school campus involving a motor vehicle must be reported to the office immediately. Failure to report accidents can result in the student losing their parking privileges for the duration of the school year and/or duration of their enrollment at the school.
  18. ACS is not responsible for theft from vehicles and does not assume liability for any property damage to any private vehicle parked on the property. The owner/operator(s) of all private vehicles accept responsibility for their own property and agree that they are parking at their own risk.
  19. AHS reserves the right to tow or immobilize any vehicle on its campus at any time.
  20. Per ACS School Board Policies 4320 and 7250, possession and/or use of tobacco products is prohibited on campus, including in student vehicles.
  21. Student vehicles are subject to search and seizure per ACS School Board Policy 4342.

Violation of any of the above mentioned regulations may result in permanent loss of parking privileges, disciplinary, or legal action. If a vehicle is operated and/or parked on campus after parking privileges for a student have been suspended by admin, the vehicle may be towed away at owner’s expense.

**Underclassmen who park on campus may impact their senior parking eligibility privileges.**

Disciplinary Actions for Parking Violations
**NEW FOR 2026**  AHS will no longer be issuing tickets for parking violations on campus. Instead, a wheel immobilizing device may be installed on a vehicle or the vehicle may be towed and stored at the owner's expense. If the vehicle is outfitted with a wheel immobilizing device, a $40 fine must be paid in the AHS Main Office before the device will be removed (subject to staff availability).

Any person vandalizing or stealing a wheel immobilizing device will be assessed a $750 fine and may be subject to legal or disciplinary action.
