Automobiles & Parking Lot
Student Parking
It is a privilege to bring a vehicle to school, and parking facilities are provided as a convenience for students. St. Anthony High School has a limited number of parking spaces available for students. Parking is by Parking Permit, only. All vehicles must be parked in designated areas. Students may not park in staff parking, visitor parking, handicapped parking, or any red zone.
Any student who drives recklessly in the parking lot or in the immediate vicinity of the school will lose his or her on-campus parking privilege, and, if the case warrants, the matter will be turned over to the police. Any student who drives or parks in school areas without permission will be subject to disciplinary action and may have his/her vehicle towed away at personal expense. Students may also lose parking pass privileges due to chronic tardiness to school or disciplinary reasons.
Vehicles parked on campus are subject to search.
Parking Permits will be issued to students with valid Driver's Licenses. Permits will be issued to drivers of carpools first, and then to individual drivers, in the following order as space remains: Seniors first, then Juniors, and then Sophomores.

Bus Rules and Regulations
Bus rules are developed for the safety of all students who ride the school bus and for the safety and well-being of the drivers who transport our students on a daily basis to and from school. These rules are also to help us present a positive, Christian image to the community that we serve. We are convinced that all students can behave appropriately and safely while riding on a school bus. The school will not tolerate a student who prevents drivers from driving safely or prevents students from having a safe trip. Disciplinary consequences will occur and students may lose bus privileges in event of rules violation.
Basic Rules to be Followed:
- The bus driver is in charge at all times – passengers must obey.
- Loud talking and boisterous behaviors are prohibited.
