Galion City Schools has officially opened online registration for the 2025-26 school year, giving families ample time to complete required paperwork before fall sports, extracurriculars, and student parking get underway.
One-Stop Process on Hometown Tickets
Parents and students can now secure both parking passes and Random Drug Testing forms in a single transaction through Hometown Tickets:
- Visit galionschools.org
- Navigate to Menu > GHS > Event Tickets or Menu > GMS > Event Tickets
- Select GHS or GMS Random Drug Test Participation Fee/Parking Pass
All materials are tied to the student’s school email and can be stored digitally for quick access at checkpoints throughout the year.
Why the Random Drug Test Participation Fee Matters
Galion Schools requires all student-athletes, club members, and campus drivers to be enrolled in the district’s random drug testing program—a proactive effort to keep activities safe and substance-free. A single $25 participation fee unlocks eligibility for every sport or extracurricular a student chooses, plus the right to drive to school.
- The fee is paid once per academic year, with no family discount or refunds.
- Athletes and club members must pay before their first scheduled contest or meeting.
- Student drivers must pay by the first day of classes to receive their parking pass.
Parking Pass Logistics
Parking spots are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis once payment clears. Students will receive an email confirmation with a digital permit; physical tags can be picked up in the high-school office during schedule pick-up days. Vehicles without a displayed permit risk citation or towing.
Key Takeaways for Families
- Save Time: Complete every step online—no need to stand in office lines.
- Plan Ahead: Pay early to avoid missing practice, club meetings, or a coveted parking spot.
- Stay Compliant: Participation in athletics, extracurriculars, or on-campus driving is contingent on completing the drug-testing enrollment and fee.
