Parking and Traffic

PTHS Parking and Traffic Guide

To help ensure a safe and efficient arrival and dismissal each day, Peters Township High School has established parking and traffic procedures for students, parents, staff, and visitors. Following these guidelines helps reduce congestion, improves traffic flow, and most importantly, protects the safety of everyone on campus.

This page provides important information about student parking permits, designated parking areas, parent drop-off and pick-up procedures, visitor parking, and traffic patterns around the school. We encourage all drivers to follow posted signage, obey speed limits, remain alert for pedestrians, and be patient during peak arrival and dismissal times.

By working together and following established traffic procedures, we can create a safe, orderly, and positive experience for all members of the Peters Township High School community.

Please see the detailed map below for more information.

Parking Passes at PTHS

  • Parking is a privilege afforded to students who apply and meet the eligibility requirements for driving/parking.  Parking permits are issued for the school year.  Applications are made available through the Athletic Office for a window of time preceding the school year. The fee is $100 for a full year parking pass.  All student debts must be cleared before attaining a parking pass.   Parking passes may not be sold and/or transferred to any other student.  Any student who violates the Parking Agreement may have their parking privileges revoked.  

    Questions regarding parking passes should be directed to Mr. Justin Pyles, Assistant Athletic Director.

  • Temporary parking permits are for juniors and seniors who do not currently hold a parking pass.  A doctor’s appointment during the school day is considered an acceptable reason for a temporary parking pass.  There are no exceptions for freshman and sophomore students; parents/guardians must plan accordingly, especially for medical appointments.  An eligible student seeking a temporary parking permit must apply in the main office and receive permission at least one day prior to the day they will drive to school.   Any students who drive to school without receiving administrative approval will receive a disciplinary consequence and risk their vehicle being towed. Repeated violations may result in permanent revocation of permission to park on campus.  Vehicles illegally parked may be tagged, ticketed, or towed at the owner’s expense. 

  • The parking permit must be attached to the rear-view mirror on the student’s vehicle and clearly visible when it is parked in the school parking lot.  Driving/parking permits may not be transferred to another student’s vehicle.  Only drivers listed on the approved application may drive/park the vehicle on school property.  Violations of any of these rules may result in loss of parking/driving privileges. Reckless driving, speeding, discourteous behavior, unauthorized driving of vehicles off campus during the school day, or horseplay involving student vehicles will not be tolerated. Drivers are responsible for the behavior of the passengers in their vehicle.  Any of the above behavior will result in the revoking of the driving/parking privilege and other disciplinary action for anyone in the vehicle. The High School Administration may revoke driving/parking privileges as a disciplinary consequence for repeated tardiness to school and other non-driving offenses.
