Dear Seniors, Juniors and Parent/Guardians,
Parking permit sales for all seniors and lottery-selected juniors will take place during the following weeks:
Senior parking permit sales will begin Wednesday, June 22 at 12:00 p.m. – July 12 at 12:00 p.m. This process will take place online. All eligible seniors are guaranteed a spot if they fill out the application and purchase their permit within the required time period.
Junior parking permits will start on Thursday, July 14 at 12:00 p.m. – July 28 at 12:00 p.m. This process also will take place online.
The parking application and purchase link will be available online and will be emailed to students the morning of June 21 to their SMCHS student email. You will be asked to provide specific information and pay for the permit with a credit card. Parking permits for students with an ASB card are $100.00 and parking permits for students without an ASB card are $125.00.

Before purchasing your permit, please make sure you are eligible to purchase a parking permit. Permits purchased prior to eligibility will not be issued or refunded.
SENIOR PARKING
Seniors with a valid driver’s license will be given the option to select a parking permit for a front lot space or a parking permit for a back lot space when they make their purchase. The purchase link will be sent to senior students to their SMCHS school email address the morning of Wednesday, June 22.
JUNIOR PARKING
Parking spots for juniors will be based on the number of remaining senior spots when senior parking permit sales conclude. There will be a random drawing for junior parking spots. Available spots will be sold to juniors in the order in which names were drawn, as availability allows. Juniors will be contacted via their school email as spots become available and must fill out the application and pay for their permits within 72 hours of receiving the email. Parking permits available for juniors to purchase (front or back lot) will be dependent on availability after senior parking permit sales have ended. There is no need to contact the school requesting a permit.
Parking Permit Pickup
Qualifying juniors and seniors who purchase a parking permit will be able to pick up their parking permits Monday, August 1 – Thursday, August 4 from 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Parking permits will be distributed at the Welcome Center in front of the Administration Building. Students who purchased the parking permit must come with their driver's license and receipt (e-ticket). Only the student who purchased the parking permit is eligible to pick up the permit. If a student cannot pick up their permit themselves, an adult may pick up the permit if they have the parking permit receipt (e-ticket) and a copy of the student’s valid driver's license.
Seniors and juniors unable to pick up their parking permits during the designated time (August 1 – August 4) must make arrangements by emailing parking@smhs.org.
If you have been selected for a permit but do not yet have a license, we cannot hold a spot for you. When you do get your license, please stop by the Attendance Office to check availability.
Students who qualify for and want a low-emission permit must specify that on the application. Low-emission permits will be issued to those who qualify based on availability. There may be more requests for low-emission than spots available, parking on school days will be on a first-come basis. If all the LE spots are full on a particular day, the students will have to park in a regular spot. Click here to see if your vehicle qualifies for a preferred low-emission permit.
PARKING OFF CAMPUS
Those students that do not have an on-campus parking permit, should park on Dove Canyon Drive, which is located just off of Plano Trabuco, on the backside of campus. Parking on either side of DCD is fine, but please pay attention to the “no parking” area on Dove Canyon Drive and the streets surrounding campus. Off-campus parking information will be shared at a later date. DO NOT park in the residential areas adjacent to campus.
