STUDENT PARKING
Welcome back Class of 2026!
PARKING PASS - REGISTRATION PROCESS
The registration process for Senior Lot parking passes changed.
Why the change?
To make the limited senior parking (only 103 spots) fairer for all applicants, we replaced the first come, first served option with a random lottery so every senior has an equal opportunity to obtain a parking pass. Students who want to be entered into the parking lottery must be present at Senior check-in in August to secure a lottery spot. Because there are parking spots for fewer than half of our seniors, please have a reliable backup plan.
RISING JUNIORS (Class of 2027) - please watch the website. There will be a "Rising Junior" section that includes the tentative date for the August 2027 parking lottery (tentatively scheduled for August 10, 2026).
IF YOU HAVE A PASS, YOU MUST:
PARKING VIOLATIONS
If you do not have a parking pass and you park in any spot in the lot (including visitor and staff spots), you will be subject to:
- 1st violation: $25 TICKET (added to fees in Infinite Campus)
- 2nd violation: $25 TICKET (added to fees in Infinite Campus)
- 3rd violation: IN THE EVENT OF A THIRD OFFENSE, THE VEHICLE MAY BE BOOTED (Barnacle'd) AT OWNER’S EXPENSE. In order for a boot to be removed from a vehicle, all fines must be paid in full.
Cars may be "Barnacle'd" if they are blocking fire lanes, driveways, or other vehicles. Cars will also be ticketed if parked in yellow areas or along curbs.
Boulder High School is not liable/responsible for any damage that occurs on or off school property if a student chooses to drive to school.
SCOOTER OR MOTORCYCLE PARKING
Students who ride a scooter or motorcycle to school should park their bikes on the east side of the building by the bike racks adjacent to the main gymnasium. Boulder High School is not responsible for scooters or motorcycles that are left on BHS property overnight. It is highly recommended that students do not leave their scooters or motorcycles on school property overnight. Scooters or motorcycles that are parked and block the sidewalk may incur a fine.
BICYCLE PARKING
Bicycle parking is available at several locations around the school. Do not lock bicycles to fences, trees or railings. These too may incur a fine. Boulder High School is not responsible for bicycles that are left on BHS property overnight. It is highly recommended that students do not leave their bicycles on school property overnight.
NEIGHBORHOOD PARKING
Parking in the neighborhoods around Boulder High are limited to two hours per zone. Vehicles without parking permits may park in an NPP zone up to the posted time restriction one time per day. After parking in a zone for the posted time limit, vehicles must leave the zone and may NOT park in that zone again on the same day. This means that you cannot park for more than two hours in a zone. Simply moving your car from one side of the street to the other does not give you two more hours in that zone. The City of Boulder will be monitoring the neighborhoods with more vigilance during this school year and wanted you to be aware of this rule. Students will not be permitted to leave a class to move their car. Because of the limited parking in neighborhoods, we highly recommend you not park in the neighboring areas.
VISITORS & ACCESSIBLE PARKING
Visitors must check in with the receptionist for a visitor’s badge. Visitors are asked to wear their badge while at the school. Accessible parking spaces are located in the 15th and 17th Streets parking lots. Visitor spaces are located only in the 15th Street lot. If visitor or disabled parking spaces are not available, please contact the receptionist at Boulder High, at 720-561-2200, for assistance with a parking space.
