ATHLETIC DEPARTMENT NEWS


Athletic Physicals: June 8th 3-6pm
Any student entering grades 6-12 who plans on participating in athletics needs to make sure they get a physical over the summer. On Tuesday June 8th, AthletiCare and St. Mary’s Hospital will be at the high school conducting sports physicals from 3-6 p.m. at a cost of $25. These exams are athletic physicals and will not cover the required physicals for incoming freshman. All students must have a current physical (less than one year old) to participate in athletics.
