Sports Physicals @ SHS
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
