Student Parking Information

Student parking is, yet again, at a premium. and all parking spaces will be assigned to students by number.  When a student signs up for their parking space, they will pick the lot and the exact parking space that they will use ALL YEAR LONG.  Students must park only in their assigned lot and will not be allowed to change parking spaces during the year.  Students must pick up an application first or print one from the MHS website under the student tab (seniors on July 29 and juniors on August 5), then we will begin accepting applications from seniors on August 3 and juniors on August 10. Students wishing to purchase a parking pass need to stop by the main office Monday through Thursday between the hours of 8:00 am and 4:00 pm. Seniors are given first priority followed by juniors. Due to the upcoming construction, we will have even fewer parking spaces for our students as well (the C Lot is closed, for example).  If you would like to purchase a parking pass please make sure that you come with the following items:

• $60 in the form of cash or check 
• Valid Driver’s License
•  and your Vehicle Registration

Prior to purchasing the pass, students will be required to read the parking guidelines and complete the parking contract (must be signed by the parent/guardian). Students will not be issued a parking pass until they have paid any outstanding fines/fees to MHS as well. 

Parking passes for the Woods campus are sold separately in the NF Woods main office.

All Senior English students at Mooresville High School are required to participate in a Senior Project as part of their graduation requirement.  Each student chooses a topic that is of interest, researches the topic, writes a paper and then does a minimum of 15 hour of hands-on learning about the topic.  Once completed, they create a digital portfolio of their learning experience. The Senior Project culminates in a 15 minute presentation on the topic to a panel of 3-5 judges.

As a member of the Senior Project Review Board, you will have the opportunity to view the student's portfolios, listen to their oral presentations and ask them questions. The time commitment is approximately 2 hours.
