University High School Physical & ECG Night (May 2): |
|
|
University High School is hosting their annual Physical/ECG Night at University High School on Tuesday, May 2nd, at 6:00 PM. This is the best time to get the physical and ECG done. UHS schedules the event annually so there are no lapses in physical coverage, and the prices are very reasonable ($25 physical, $20 ECG).
In order to participate in high school athletics, band or JROTC, each student must have a current physical (lasts 1 calendar year) and an ECG (1 ECG lasts all 4 years of high school).
We have attached a flyer that has registration and pricing information, as well as instructions for uploading required paperwork to the online portal. We suggest registering early as ECG spots fill up quickly.
