Manitou Springs High School

Happy summer break! Congratulations to our students and staff for finishing the school year strong: in the classroom, on the stage, on the field, and throughout the community. I am so proud of everyone's hard work and dedication this year, as well as the learning and growth we've all achieved.

Have an absolutely fantastic summer break!

We will share more information about the next school year in early August.

Rules of the Road

The rules of the road apply to drivers of all ages, but there are certain additional restrictions that all teen drivers need to know.

Passenger restrictions

Teens with a license:

• For the first six months, no passengers under 21, unless a parent or other licensed adult driver over 21 is in the vehicle.
• For the next six months, one passenger under age 21.
• Medical emergencies are exceptions.
• At any time, no more than one passenger is allowed in the front seat.

It has come to our attention that we are having a few issues in the parking lot at MSHS during pickup times. Some of the issues are:

• Parents are still doing U-Turns in front of the buses when we are trying to leave for the afternoon routes when leaving the HIgh School.

• Parents, Students and Staff still turn left when leaving the High School which in turn blocks the out for the buses due to the signs stating “Right Turn Only” between 3pm and 3:30pm.

• Students do not let the buses in as they are leaving ( the spot by the bleachers where the buses come around)

Please help our buses leave the parking lot in a timely and safe manner and abide by the rules.
