  • Senior On-Campus Parking - Update as of April 4, 2024

    The First Semester Parking lottery for the 2024-2025 school year will open at 12:00 am on May 13, 2024, and will close at 3:00 pm CST on Friday, May 24, 2024. 

    Seniors will be notified of lottery results via the notification email provided on the parking application sometime during the week of May 27 2024.

    First Semester Parking dates are from August 21, 2024, through December 20, 2024.
    Student parking at Lake Forest High School is open to all students during their senior year. All vehicles are required to have a current parking tag in their windshield at all times between the hours of 7:00 am and 3:30 pm.

    Parking spots are assigned by a random lottery system at a cost of $575 a semester. Students looking to enter the parking lottery can do so by signing up through the parking link on RevTrak (when live) and process their parking payment for $575.

    Only students who will be seniors at the time of semester parking can enter the parking lottery. Students will be notified that the lottery is open through their school email and Schoology announcements. 

    For questions regarding Senior On-Campus Parking, please contact Betty Magana, bmagana@lfschools.net or the Deans’ Office.

    Parking Lottery Guidelines:

    • Only students who will be seniors at the time of semester parking can enter the lottery.

    • If more seniors apply than the number of available spots, a lottery will be held. All applications submitted before the deadline will be included in the lottery. The lottery is done by a computer-generated program.

    • Seniors will be notified of lottery results via the notification email provided on the parking application.

    • A senior can choose to share a parking space with another senior student. This information needs to be kept on file with Mrs. Magana, in the Deans’ Office.

    • If a student applied for a senior parking space first semester and did not receive a space, they are guaranteed a spot for the second semester.  You still must apply by the deadline to receive your parking space.

    • Seniors who do not receive a parking space will automatically be issued a refund and placed on a waiting list based on the number assigned by the lottery computer program.

    • Students are responsible for picking up their first semester parking pass during book pick up on August 15 and 16 2024.

    • School authorities may inspect and search school property and equipment owned or controlled by the school (including parking lots).

    • Students who abuse their parking privileges may have their parking space revoked without a refund.

    Parking for semesters 1 and 2 are for every single school day of the respective semester.
