Spring sports physicals are approaching. Physicals will be held Feb. 20 in the Emmaus High School cafeteria. This is the only date physicals will be offered. If a student cannot attend these physicals, a physical must be obtained from a private physician. Any physical not given Feb. 20 must be submitted to the athletic office prior to March 7, the first day of spring sports practices. Coaches will not accept physical forms that day. The schedule for physicals can be found on the EHS website.
