Administrators at Manning High School have announced the school’s parking plan for 2015 commencement ceremonies, which will be held 9 a.m. June 6 in the school’s Ramsey Stadium. “There will be designated parking spaces for graduates and guests,” said Coach Franklin D. Ladson. “Graduates only will be allowed to park in the back of the school behind the gymnasium.” Ladson said each graduate will have one parking pass and must present that pass to park behind the gym. “Parents, friends and guests of graduates will park in the student parking lot next to the tennis courts,” Ladson noted. “Overflow parking will also be provided on the football practice field and other designated areas. It is highly recommended that family and friends allow sufficient time to park and proceed to Ramsey Stadium.” Ladson said should inclement weather force commencement ceremonies inside the gym, that only gusts with designated tickets will be admitted. “Once the gymnasium reaches maximum capacity, individuals wishing to observe the graduation ceremony will have to go to the lecture hall and watch on a closed-circuit projection monitor,” Ladson said. He added there will be limited handicap-accessible parking in the rear of the school for those possessing valid decals. “As a result, attendees should make plans to drop handicap individuals off at the entrance of Ramsey Stadium and then park in one of the designated areas,” Ladson said.
