    GHSA Constitution and By-Laws

    1.40 - LIMITS OF PARTICIPATION
    1.41 Students must have a certificate of an annual physical examination on file at the school prior to participating in any athletic try-outs, practices or games that indicate the students are physically approved for participation.
    (a) Physical examinations will be good for twelve (12) months from the date of the exam. EXCEPTION: Any physical examination taken on or after April 1 in the preceding year will be accepted for the following GHSA school year.
    (b) The physical exam must be conducted by a licensed medical physician, doctor of Osteopathic medicine, nurse practitioner or a physician’s assistant.
    (c) The exam must be signed by an M.D. or D.O., but the doctor's stamp is acceptable if it is in script, and if information appears elsewhere on the form identifying him/her as a medical doctor.(d) The GHSA requires that member schools use the latest edition of the preparticipation physical evaluation form approved by the American Academy of Pediatrics, et. al., found in the “GHSA Forms Notebook.”

    Academic Requirements:

    Academic Requirements include passing five classes in a six or seven course semester. For Connections classes, the two classes taken in a nine week period will be averaged together to come up with one grade; therefore, the four classes taken over the two nine weeks of the semester will yield two semester grades. A person can not fail more than two classes per semester (7 periods).

    Ticket Information:

    Tickets for home athletic events can be purchased on the GoFan website at this link, https://gofan.co/app/school/GA13653. Tickets are $5 for adults and students.

    ** When purchasing tickets on GoFan, please be sure to confirm that the tickets are being purchased for the CORRECT LOCATION.
