For Students
We are pleased to offer our students the support they require to excel and succeed. Please review the student privileges made available to our students.
Student Drivers
Driving a car to school and parking on school property are privileges granted by the school. A non-refundable permit fee is charged for the school year. There are a limited number of parking spaces on campus for Seniors only.
Any underclassmen found in violation of parking illegally on campus could lose the privilege to park on campus as a Senior.
The following regulations apply to all student drivers:
- All vehicles must be registered with the Assistant Principal.
- Parking is at your own risk and KHS will not be held liable for any damage or theft that may occur involving your vehicle.
- Students are to observe the No Parking areas and other traffic control signs.
- If you will not be using your parking spot, you must report this to the Assistant Principal. Do not give your parking spot to someone else to use. A parking permit is for the use of the registered driver only and not to be transferred to other students.
- Cars are to be parked in the front end first.
- Students are to operate vehicles in a safe and reasonable manner at all times. All drivers are to obey the Motor Vehicle Code of Pennsylvania.
- The student parking spaces are in front of KHS in the lower parking lot (below the wall) in the designated student spaces. You do not have a specific spot; however you may only park in the designated student parking spaces.
