All vehicles entering the CBHS parking lot must enter at the traffic light from Walnut Grove Road or from the one-way entrance located on Humphreys Boulevard north of the school. Students that are parking may proceed to their assigned parking areas. All other drivers must use the right-hand lane closest to the school building, drop off their students at the Bell Tower, then leave the parking lot.

Drop-off at Tom Nix Stadium or Heffernan Hall is prohibited before school as it disrupts the flow of traffic into the parking lot.

The left-hand lane is not to be used to drop off students; it is only for students, faculty, and staff bypassing the carline to access their parking spaces. It is extremely dangerous to drop off students from the left lane. Those leaving the parking lot and heading west may use the secondary exit, west of the traffic light. During afternoon dismissal, the one-way drive behind the school opening onto Humphreys Boulevard may be used to exit the campus.

Students should arrive in the parking lot at least fifteen minutes before their first class begins. Maximum speed in the parking lot is 15 miles per hour, and safe driving is expected at all times. Cell phones should not be in use by the driver in the parking lot.

ENTRANCE/EXIT PROCEDURES AND CAMPUS ACCESSIBILITY

Always contact your son’s teacher(s) first. If you need additional assistance or you are unable to reach a resolution, you may contact your son’s counselor.

If you have any concerns about your son’s well-being, or if there are changes at home that you would like to bring to the school's attention, please contact your son’s counselor. The counselor’s name is located on your son’s contact card that can be accessed in your myCBHS account.

CBHS recognizes the role of parents in providing safe home environments to create healthy social opportunities for our students.  We ask that each CBHS parent agree to provide active chaperones who remain informed of what is occurring throughout events that are hosted at their homes and to ensure that students do not have access to, nor engage in the consumption of alcohol or drugs.

In addition to supporting and attending your son’s extracurricular activities at CBHS, the Parents Association is a great way to meet other parents, stay informed, and support the school. There are numerous volunteer opportunities and events organized by the Parents Association that you may opt to help organize and execute. Contact Tish Montesi for more information.

Christian Brothers High School regards the use, possession, or sale of any illegal substance, including alcohol, synthetic drugs, and prescription drugs, as a situation of major concern both for the individual and for our other students. If it is determined that a student at CBHS is in possession of or under the influence of any illegal substance or has provided or distributed any illegal substance to other students, he may be dismissed from CBHS immediately.   If the student is not immediately dismissed, the student will be immediately suspended from all classes until a meeting with his parents/guardians and the school administration can take place. Upon the student’s return to CBHS, whether he has received treatment or not, he must maintain the standards and regulations of the school, or he will be asked to withdraw from CBHS immediately.  

During the course of the school year, ALL students will be randomly selected for drug testing at least once. All results are confidential. After the initial testing, each student’s name will be placed back into a pool for further random testing.  If a student tests positive, the Associate Principal for Student Formation will meet with his parents and inform them of the results. The student will be tested again after 90 days, extending even into summer vacation at the family’s expense. A second positive test result during a student's enrollment at CBHS will result in expulsion.

CBHS provides several outreach programs to discourage the use of illegal drugs and alcohol and to encourage the CBHS student to lead by example in this area. When possible, CBHS will cooperate in helping individual students who experience prolonged absences for substance abuse treatment. (See “Counseling – Students Enrolled in Outpatient Programs” in the CBHS Handbook.) Parent education programs take place throughout the school year to guide parents/guardians as mentors to their sons. A list of events follows:  - Freshmen and transfer students/guardians and their parents must attend a drug/alcohol awareness - session in the first semester. - Before the Homecoming Dance and Prom, students are required to meet with the Principal in an assembly to discuss safe behaviors. - Before the Prom an evening parent meeting is held to discuss drug/alcohol awareness with parents/guardians of students attending the prom. - Religion and Ethics classes give instruction each year on moral issues involved with drug/alcohol abuse. Additionally, freshman and sophomore students study health issues related to alcohol/drug use in classes. - Parents/guardians and students are actively encouraged to sponsor and participate only in alcohol/drug free events for their children and to have adult chaperones present and visible whenever hosting student-attended gatherings in their homes. - Before dances and athletic events, students are randomly tested on a breathalyzer to gain admission to the event. The chaperones for a school dance or athletic event may breathalyze any CBHS student based upon suspicion of being under the influence of alcohol.
