As we get ready to turn up the heat next week, it is time to begin our fall activities. We know that students involved in at least one extra-curricular activity perform better academically, socially, and emotionally, and we encourage all students to find something to be involved in.
The fall athletics meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 27, 2023 at 7:00 PM in the GHS Arena. The meeting is for student-athletes competing in High School level athletics in the fall. We will discuss general athletics expectations, review the waiver and participation requirements, and meet with the coaches to begin preparations for the new season.
As a reminder, students are required to have a pre-participation physical examination by a licensed medical provider a minimum of once every three years. That typically means that student-athletes entering grades 7 and 10 are required to see a provider for an exam. Students in grades 8, 9, 11, and 12 generally must only complete the interim health questions. Form packets are available at the HS office during regular business hours, can be printed from the website, or can be picked up at the meeting on Thursday evening. All exams and paperwork must be completed prior to beginning practices.
