Event Classification

The backbone of Parking Crew operations is the Event Classification Chart. Seen Below, the chart break events down into 5 graduated levels ranging from small to large and lists the amount of set up and staff each level will need. Classifications are listed on every season’s schedule in the "Class” column.

Traffic and Parking Regulations

The Parking Crew is responsible for making sure that traffic and parking laws are enforced on the MHS campus. This is made possible through close cooperation with the Mariemont Police Department. Officers will make at least one patrol of the high school during any event. Illegally parked vehicles will be ticketed or towed by officers. Any suspicious or illegal activity (such as the presence of weapons, drugs or alcohol) will also be reported. The police can be called on the non-emergency number (271-4089) and will respond quickly. All employees are encouraged to develop friendly working relationships with officers.

Note: Students are also subject to detentions, Friday schools or the suspension of driving privileges at MHS if they park illegally.
