Please help us get the word out to all current and incoming students--they MUST complete the Athletics Clearance process for participating in athletics and Co-Curricular activities (Athletes, Cheer, Marching Band, Color Guard, Drum Line, etc). This is a great opportunity at a low cost physical that meets this requirement for students. They may also go to their private doctor or other health clinic to complete this process. Thank you!
