2024-2025 HPHS Student Parking Permit Areas: Update from the HP Police Department
The following is an update regarding the Highland Park Student Parking Permit areas. In the near future, we will be eliminating the St. Johns North City Lot (entrance located at St. Johns Avenue and Park Avenue) as a Student Parking Permit area. This is due to little use since the addition of the First Street Student parking area which the City added during the HPHS construction projects the last few years. This location, on the east side of First Street between the Shell Gas Station and McDonalds) has become the preferred and highly utilized location by Student Parking Permit holders due to the close proximity to HPHS). The following locations can still be used for Student Parking Permit parking by HPHS students.
- North Side of First Street (between the Shell Gas Station and McDonalds on the east side of the street in designated areas, approximately 30 spaces)
- 1987 Second Street Lot, - 32 total spaces
- Moraine Park Lot at 2501 Sheridan Road in designated areas- approximately 12 to 15 spaces
If you have any questions, please contact the Highland Park Police Department. Find more information and the application on the City of HP website.

HPHS Door Hours and Procedures
Drop-off and Pick-up Regulations
It is imperative that we all adhere to the rules to ensure safety, regardless of whether a police officer is present. Parents/guardians may need to allow more time on inclement weather days, when traffic is heavier around HPHS.
As a reminder, the following are permitted drop off/pickup locations:
- The Vine Avenue visitor and staff parking lot, which opened last fall--Pull in from east- or west-bound Vine, drop your student(s) off along the north and west boundaries of the lot, then exit onto southbound St. Johns. Students dropped off in this location are asked to utilize the sidewalk that leads to the supervised crosswalk to cross Vine Avenue.
- West Lot—Access the drop off/pickup lane off of Vine Avenue east of Green Bay Road.
- North side of Vine Avenue – This area directly in front of the school on westbound Vine Avenue has been designated for drop off/pickup only between 7-9 a.m. and 2-4 p.m. You must pull over to the curb for drop off/pickup. Drop-offs/pickups are not permitted in this area outside of these designated times. Unattended vehicles are subject to a $50 citation.
- North Lot—Access the drop off/pickup lane only off St. Johns. There is no access from Vine into the student lot. Use the marked drop-off/pick-up lane. Do not pull into the circle drive.
Tip: Peak traffic hours around HPHS are 8:00-8:45 a.m. for drop-off and 2:50-3:15 p.m. for pickup. Arriving before 8 a.m. for drop off or after 3:15 p.m. for pick-up can significantly reduce your time spent waiting in traffic. Allow more time on inclement weather days.
Parents/guardians needing to drop off lunches, books and other student items during the school day: Please park in the visitors section of the Vine Lot and leave items at the Security Desk just inside the front door of the school. It is illegal to park in the fire lane in front of HPHS, even just for a moment.
REMINDER: To maintain safety for pedestrians and reduce traffic congestion, parking, stopping, or standing on Vine, St. Johns or Maple avenues is prohibited by City Code between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. and carries a $50 fine. In addition, drivers obstructing traffic are subject to $120 traffic citations. You may also receive a ticket for:

- Making a U-turn on Vine Avenue at any time
- Standing, stopping, dropping off/picking up or parking on the south side of Vine, including areas and streets directly east of HPHS and the Vine/St. Johns intersection.
