Senior Painted Parking Spaces

The Senior Class is thrilled to announce that Flagler Palm Coast High School will continue with senior painted parking spots!

Allowing senior students to paint their own parking spots is a great way to improve school pride and friendships. We encourage students to express themselves through positive artwork to beautify the campus, to build school spirit, to create a tradition, and to support Senior Class activities and events.

Requirements: Seniors must maintain a 2.0 GPA and have no more than five level 1 referrals and NO level 2 or higher referrals during the 2025-2026 school year. If this is not met, your spot will be painted over and forfeited. 

Please visit the Guidance and Scholarships pages to access resources and information about college financial aid and scholarships.
