Parking Lot Traffic Flow
There are two traffic flow lines in and out of campus for drop-off and pick-up. To determine which line to use, find out where your child’s locker is located. If you have two children at Herron High School, use the youngest child’s locker location. (Note: during the hybrid-model used during the pandemic, students will not be assigned lockers unless deemed essential.)
LINE #1: If your child’s locker is in Russell Hall (the building closest to 16th street) follow these directions:

- Choose one of THREE lanes:
- Two inside lanes for pick up and drop off
- Outside north lane for through-traffic only
- PLEASE PULL AS FAR FORWARD AS POSSIBLE
- Drop-off/Pick-up your student(s) at the doors of Russell Hall
