Free Sports Physicals  All students in grades 7th-12th next year, who plan on participating in sports, must have a physical. Free physicals will be given this Saturday at 8:30 in the Cathedral High weight room behind the gym. If your son/daughter does not have a physical they will not be allowed to participate in a sport until they receive one. Each student must have a physical form signed by their parent to get a physical. The forms may be picked up in the high school office or from Coach Beesley.

We are in need of nurses to come and check blood pressure and pulse so the doctors can perform the physicals. If you can help please contact the front office 601-442-2531 or Coach Beesley 601-597-4500.
