Safety and Security concerns regarding entrance to HJHS Cafeteria

Students are exposed to the elements while waiting to enter the cafeteria.

School entrance is directly connected to the back parking lot.

Parking lot is also used for deliveries to the cafeteria as well as by the community to deposit recyclable items.

Visitors to the campus through this entrance come in unnoticed by staff.
