Sports Physical Day with TOC is on May 5th, at 5:30 in the SHS gym.
The cost will be $10. All athletes/potential athletes are encouraged to come and get their athletic physical on this day. The $10 fee can be paid online through this link. https://secure2.myschoolfees.com/guest_home.aspx?sid=261
SHS would really like to get all athletes in our feeder pattern on the same cycle with physicals to prevent physicals from lapsing during the school year. If you have questions please email Jason Watts, jwatts@mcssk12.org.
