Dear Lehi High School Community,
We understand that student parking has been a significant point of frustration for many families this year. We want to be transparent and provide an update on our ongoing efforts to address this complex issue. Below are some common questions and updates so we can continue to work together to find solutions.
How many parking passes are available at Lehi High school?
We have 900 parking passes available for purchase by juniors and seniors only. That does not guarantee a spot. We have currently sold over 800 passes.
How many parking stalls does Lehi High School currently have?
We currently have 527 student/unmarked stalls, 69 faculty stalls, and 21 visitor stalls (See map below)
Why does Lehi High sell more parking passes than they have stalls available?
We sell more parking passes than we have stalls in order to maximize our available parking spaces. Many students are not on campus at all times, as they are enrolled in off-campus programs like MTEC. We will continue to monitor and evaluate this policy to ensure it meets our students' needs.
Are students and/or the public able to park at the nearby church located at 481 E 300 N during school hours or for events at the school?
At this time, the church has chosen to keep the gates locked. We remain in regular communication with the church’s Facilities Management group and are hopeful that in the future an arrangement may be made to open the gates for school use.
What is Lehi High School's action plan for parking and to alleviate concerns in the area regarding parking on private property or blocking driveways, etc.?
We are working closely with our students to reinforce where they are—and are not—allowed to park. Our administration and staff have personally visited many of the homes surrounding the school, which led to positive conversations with neighbors. We want to continue partnering with our community to foster a respectful and supportive school–community environment.
Who is responsible for implementing and enforcing parking policies on school grounds?
We have a dedicated parking attendant who monitors and enforces parking in our school lots. Ultimately, it is my administrative team's responsibility to ensure that our policies and guidelines are followed and implemented correctly.
Is there a plan in the foreseeable future to develop additional parking at the school?
Yes. We are in ongoing communication with district facilities. Parking needs at Lehi High are a frequent topic of discussion, and potential short- and long-term solutions are being evaluated.
What are your thoughts about how to resolve the parking issue at Lehi High School?
There isn’t a quick or easy fix for parking at Lehi High. However, we are actively engaged in finding solutions. We have spoken with the mayor, city council members, and Lehi City staff about a variety of possibilities. We are committed to pursuing both immediate and long-term options to support our students and improve the overall experience for our community.
In addition, we have attached a few maps to this email. These maps show the current student parking areas on campus, as well as designated public and street parking in nearby neighborhoods.
We appreciate your patience and support as we work together to create solutions for a safer and more convenient environment for our students.
Thank you,
Lehi High School Administration
