Transportation & Parking
Stevenson High School is a busy campus with a substantial amount of people, buses and cars that come onto campus each day. It is important to understand our transportation/parking protocols and traffic flow patterns to facilitate your visit. Please know that congestion on campus is at its peak from 7:45-8:30 a.m. and 3:00-3:45 p.m., so please plan accordingly.
Our desire is that your student takes the district provided transportation (buses) to and from campus each day to lessen traffic on campus. However, we understand that some families prefer to drop students off and/or pick students up each day. Our traffic flow will be slightly different in the mornings and afternoons.
