Student Parking

 

MRHS 26-27 Senior Parking Information

At Mountain Ridge, we have only approximately 400 student parking spots, and for the 25-26 school year, we will have about 2800 students, which means parking is only available to Seniors (and certain WestMec Juniors), but even then, we will still have close to 680 Seniors. This means that parking permits will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis, which is why it is very important that all the following procedures be followed carefully and thoroughly. 

Also, please note that what some people refer to as the "Junior Lot" at the church down the street has nothing to do with Mountain Ridge High School - that parking is handled independently by the church. 

Phase 1 parking application process

• The Phase 1 Parking Application link for next school year will be posted on this page on Monday, March 23, 2026 at 7:00 PM
• The link will close on Monday, March 30 at 8:00 AM so all applications can be processed 
• All students who's application was accepted will be notified by email on Monday, April 6, 2026 and told how to pay for their parking spot
• All parking spot payments must be received by Monday, April 13th at 8:00 AM or your parking spot will be revoked.
• IF, after the Phase 1 process there are still parking spots available, a Phase 2 will open up on Monday, April 20, 2026 (check back here for more details)
• For the entire application process, students must be signed into their @learner school account, and all correspondence will be made through their @learner email account

Application Details

To complete the application process, you will need the following information and items for the car you plan to drive: 

• • Student ID Number
  • Image of Arizona driver license (Permits are not accepted)
  • Image of current Arizona vehicle registration
  • Image of current proof of insurance
  • Vehicle make, model, color and license plate number
  • If you are going to be a Junior next year and attending WestMEC during the school day, you will need an image of your proof of acceptance showing a class time between 7:00 AM and 2:12 PM. For the approval process, a driving permit is accepted if the WestMec student will have their official license by August 3rd, 2026 (The first day of school)

If you need to drive a different vehicle at any time, it is not a problem as you will be provided with instructions on how to update your car information either temporarily or permanently.

Since spots will fill quickly, it is recommended that you gather all the information above and have it ready to upload once the application link goes live.
