Student Parking

We welcome eligible students who wish to drive to school to park in a limited number of spaces on the Radnor High School campus.

Parking permits are available for 12th-grade students only. Seniors will be given the opportunity to obtain a parking permit through a selection and lottery process that takes place each summer. Students will choose from one of three options: Sharing, Semester or Lottery.

Additional parking for RHS students is available in the district's reserve parking lot at King of Prussia Road and Matsonford Road.

For official parking rules and further information, see Radnor Township School District Policy #223, Use of Bicycles and Motor Vehicles.

Please remember, parking on the RHS campus is a privilege. Students must follow all rules and regulations to continue this privilege.

Parking Permit Options

#1: Sharing

A senior will find another senior and agree to share a spot. It is incumbent upon both students and both families to determine how the spot will be shared. Should issues arise, students must work it out on their own, or find another pair of seniors willing to switch partners. Students who agree to the sharing option will be guaranteed one (1) spot to share for the entire year.

#2: Semester

#3: Lottery

A senior will put their name in a lottery for a full year spot that they do not have to share. The lottery spots will be randomly drawn after sharing and semester spots have been reserved. Should a senior choose the lottery option and not get a spot due to limited availability, they will be placed on the waitlist and will not be able to change to sharing or semester options after the fact. There is no guarantee of getting a spot if you select the lottery option.

Where Seniors Park at RHS

A numbered hang tag will be issued and must always be displayed on the rear-view mirror while the vehicle is on campus. Eligible seniors are permitted to park in any space in the senior, creek (formally known as junior lot), and along the new road by the senior lot on a first-come, first-served basis.

Students are not permitted to park in staff spaces at any time. Starting Tuesday, September 5, all cars on campus must have a permit to park. Students who park on campus illegally will face disciplinary consequences. If a senior on the waiting list parks illegally, the student will be removed from the waiting list.

Additional Parking Option for RHS Students

Radnor High School offers more parking options through the district’s reserve parking lot at King of Prussia Road and Matsonford Road. The lot is a short 0.7-mile walk to Radnor High School by way of a paved path. We have walked the route and can ensure a safe crossing at the intersection of Radnor-Chester Road and King of Prussia Road.

Many of you may be familiar with Memorial Field, which is adjacent to Archbishop Carroll High School and across from Radnor Elementary School and the Radnor Corporate Center on Matsonford Road.

To drive to the lot:

Go East on Matsonford Road from King of Prussia Road
Make a Right onto the entrance to Archbishop Carroll High School
Make the first Right turn (after Memorial Field)
The entrance to the lot is less than a quarter-mile on the right hand side, in the direct back of Memorial Field

To walk to Radnor High School from the lot:

When leaving the lot, walk South towards the SEPTA lot
Cross under the train tracks via the SEPTA walkway
Exit to sidewalk on King of Prussia Road
Walk briefly on the sidewalk on East side of King of Prussia Road
Cross King of Prussia Road at the intersection of King of Prussia Road and Radnor-Chester Road
Walk down Radnor-Chester Road to Radnor High School campus

Note: the adjacent lot is a SEPTA lot. Do not park in a number or metered spot in the SEPTA lot or you will be ticketed or towed. The available spots are only in the lot directly behind Memorial Field where the Radnor High School Band and Crew trailers are parked.

Temporary and New Vehicles

Towing at RHS (NEW)

Beginning Tuesday, September 5, we will tow illegally parked cars in an effort to prevent students without a valid parking pass from parking on campus. A reminder that eligible senior students are only allowed to park in the Senior Lot, along the new road by senior lot, and Creek Lot. A student who parks illegally two times will be issued written warnings along with parental meetings. If a student has received two warnings, but parks on campus again without an eligible parking pass or in unauthorized areas, the student's vehicle will be towed from RHS at the owner’s expense.
