Our annual athletic physicals will be held on Thursday, May 14th from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM in the high school gymnasium.

Doctors and nurses from The Eureka Springs Family Medical Clinic will be on-site to perform physicals for our student-athletes.

All students planning to participate in athletics for the upcoming school year are required to have a current physical on file. To receive a physical, students must have:

A parent-signed health history form
A physical form
Both forms can be picked up from Coach Rambo for your convenience.

High School Athletes:
Since this falls on an even-semester test day, students should report to the gymnasium as soon as they complete their 7th-hour test.

Junior High Athletes:
Junior high athletes will receive their physicals at the end of their 5th-hour athletic period.

Please plan ahead to ensure all paperwork is completed and turned in so your student remains eligible for participation.

Join us to unveil the public art piece created by ESMS!
