All students trying out/participating for any school sports next year must have an up-to-date sports physical. Students who wish to have their sports physicals at TPHS MUST submit a Sports Physical Packet by March 22 to Nurse Amy Gregory. Appointments fill up quickly; therefore, students need to see Nurse Amy ASAP to pick up a packet, complete it, and turn it back in to her so that an appointment is guaranteed through the school!
