Arrival at Heights High School
Maps to help you navigate
If you're coming by CAR or VAN, enter the campus
from 14th Street, at the northwest corner of the campus, near Arlington (see
maps at link above). Please do NOT park on the streets surrounding the campus.
There is plentiful parking in the two-level garage right in the heart of the
campus. This will keep Heights High School's neighbors happy and prevent you
from getting your car towed!
If you are coming by BUS, please plan your approach to
Heights High School this way: Make your way to Studewood, and from Studewood,
turn west onto 13th Street (see maps at link above). That way, all the buses
will be arriving from the same direction (from the east headed west), and that's
the ideal direction, because it puts you unloading on the correct side of the
street. If you come in on 13th from the west heading east, you're going to
create congestion and unsafe unloading conditions in front of the school.
After your bus has dropped you off, the bus can circle back
around and park in the student parking lot on the opposite side of 13th Street
from the school, next to the tennis courts, a little east of the school.
If the student lot fills up, our official suggestion is for the
buses to park at
Houston ISD's Delmar Stadium/Dyer Stadium sports complex
near the intersection of Highway 290 and Loop
610, which has ample parking. Google says it takes about 14 minutes
to get there from Heights. My suggestion would be to head west on 11th Street
and turn right onto Hempstead Road, which leads straight there. Turn right off Hempstead Road just past the
now-closed Northwest Mall onto Mangum. Your
driver is of course free to seek out somewhere else to park, as well, but
please, not on the streets in the neighborhood around Heights High School. |
