The seniors get a reserved, numbered space on campus. Which they then paint to match their personality:

So, for the entire year, no one else can park in that space. This is an incentive for parents to buy a space for their kid, so that they can paint it. If parking space is at a premium, the campus should not be reserving spaces. |
Most high schools do that same sort of thing, so I don't see it going away. However, I'm not sure how high schools in dense areas handle this (downtown areas, for instance). Bowie is a bit unique given that it's not in a high-density area, but it is limited on room so a larger surface lot isn't in the cards.
