PARKING AND DRIVING
Parking in HNA's Underground Parking Garage

Parking Garage Holy Names Academy’s parking garage accommodates 243 cars and is located beneath the new Athletic Complex. All students, faculty, and staff are required to park in the garage. After parking, students should proceed immediately to the commons.

Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations: The parking garage contains EV charging stations. If using an EV charging station, click here for instructions to sign up to use ChargePoint. The designated EV charging stalls can be used only while charging vehicles; once vehicles are completely charged, students must move them to non-charging stalls.

Features: The new parking garage contains many important features including an entrance and exit car counter, heated ramps for ice and snow, bumpers on every column, double-striped parking spots, gates, cameras, high-intensity light, and emergency phones. Sustainable features include LED lighting throughout, the infrastructure to add EV charging stations to every parking stall, and secure parking for bicycles. The gym, under which the parking garage sits, has solar panels on its roof to generate enough electricity to light the entire school. Click here to learn more and see a sneak peek into the garage.

Parking Permits Required:

All vehicles using the parking garage must have an HNA parking permit displayed in the lower-left corner of the rear window.

To obtain a new parking permit or submit changes to an existing parking permit (such as a new license plate number), please complete this form and submit it to the Receptionist, Ms. Nancy Volk.
Frequently Asked Questions:

Are students allowed to park on the street?
No. All students are required to park in the garage; parking on neighborhood streets is no longer permitted. (Note: There may be special events for which students will be instructed to park in the neighborhood; students will receive advance notice.)

How do students enter the parking garage if they arrive late?
The entrance gate to the garage will be open only from 6:30 to 8:05 a.m. A daily parking garage code will be sent out through the HNA School Info App and will be posted under the News section of the app. Students arriving after 8:05 a.m. must use this code to enter the parking garage. After parking, late-arriving students must exit the parking garage and enter the school building through the main entrance up the front steps on 21st Ave. E. At the main entrance, students should ring the doorbell so that the receptionist can let them into the building. They must have their health screening on the School Info App ready to show at the door.

Are parents allowed to park in the parking garage?
The garage is mainly for the use of faculty, staff, and students on school days. Parents and visitors should park in the back parking lot or use street parking and must follow the HNA guidelines of only parking on the north and west sides of the street.
