Volleyball and Football Games Parking at GHS
The NEW Garrett High School construction project is well under way. With the new construction comes many challenges. One of those is parking for Athletic Events as well as athlete pick-up and drop off. All High School Volleyball and Football games will be affected. Below are the open entrances for Fall Athletic Events.
Volleyball - The only entrance open for Varsity and JV Volleyball games will be door #10. This door is also known as the Performing Arts Center (PAC) entrance. There will be no entry at Door #3 North of the gym or at Door #23, the old “railroader track” entrance. Parking for the games will include the Performing Arts Center lot, the East middle school lot, and the Ober Faculty lot. ALL entry will be done through door #10. You will not be able to walk through the middle school to attend any high school athletic event.
Football – The entrance to Memorial Field for both visiting and home fans will be through the EAST gate at the field. Home fans will walk around the track to the North in order to get to the home side stands. Visitors and Home fans will use the same gate. Parking will be available in the Middle School South Lot, the Middle School East Lot, the Performing Arts Center lot, and the Ober Elementary staff parking lot. Parking on Britton street will no longer be convenient for home fans as there will not be a gate on the North or West side of the field. Parking will not be allowed along the driveway off of Warfield Street. Overflow parking will be at the Soccer field across from the GKB Central Office.
Team Drop-off and Pick-up – Teams playing contests on the road will be dropped off on the North side of the school at Door #3. This entrance is accessible to parents from Houston street and is located between the Ober Elementary and the High School.

Athletic ticket prices for the 2011-2012 school year.
Parents may choose the option of working at athletic events or paying for their tickets. If parents choose to work for their tickets, they must work 8 events to earn a family pass, 3 events for an adult ticket, or 2 events for a student ticket. Events fill up quickly and parents are advised not to wait. Events will be assigned on a first come first served basis. Athletic Director Steve Rhoades says “This program is a great way to ease the financial burden on parents while helping the athletic department. It takes a large number of workers to host an athletic contest and we count on this program to fulfill our needs.
Worker signup and Big Train Ticket sales will begin on August 10, 2011 in the high school office during registration. Registration times are 10am – 1pm and 4pm-8pm on August 10th and 11th .

Soap Scrimmage
REMINDER:
The Varsity Football Soap Scrimmage is on Monday, August 8th at Memorial Field. BUT,
Remember, with the New Construction you must park in the Middle School parking lot and enter the VISITORS gate. You will still view the game from the Home stands. You will follow the track around to the Home Side Bleachers. This will be true for ALL REGULAR SEASON FOOTBALL GAMES. Parking will be in the middle school lot south of the middle school, east of the middle school, the PAC lot, and the lot East of the Elementary.
It is going to be inconvenient to park on Britton Street because there will not be an entrance on the North or West side of the field. The Team Gate will be open for Big Train tickets for Varsity games only, but will not sell individual game tickets. So, you will still need to walk around to the VISITORS GATE.
Yes, it is inconvenient. But it is a small price to pay during the construction of our NEW High School.
