Parking for Class of 2022 Commencement Ceremonies
Please review this information and the map specific to our school’s graduation ceremony time. Students and guests are strongly encouraged to ride together and must park in the assigned lots when arriving at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Uniformed parking attendants will be facilitating the parking for all HCPSS commencement ceremonies. If the assigned lots are full, the parking attendants will redirect guests.
Please follow the signs and direction of the parking attendants to make the event run as smoothly as possible.
Parking lots will open 1 hour in advance of the ceremony start time.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, please make every effort to vacate the parking lot as quickly as possible so that parking is available for the next school.
Merriweather “Lot 1” which is located just inside the Little Patuxent Parkway at Merriweather Lane is designated as ADA parking. Entrants must have a disability placard and/or license plate. Parking staff may also direct vehicles to other marked ADA spaces if they are available.
Guests with disabilities may also be dropped off and picked up in the identified area near the accessible seating (please refer to map).
