Attention parents/guardians…

If your 6th-11th grade student is interested in participating in a school-sponsored sport next fall*, a PIAA Comprehensive Initial Pre-Participation Physical Evaluation (CIPPE) Packet is required to be completed, along with a physical evaluation completed by a healthcare provider. 

Physical options:

• Family healthcare provider
• Participating urgent care offices
• School physician (cost is $15)

If you would like for our school physician (Dr. Paul Hamm, D.O.) to complete the physical, please complete the CIPPE packet and turn it into the school office, no later than May 19th. Physicals will be completed in the afternoon on May 21st and May 28th. The cost of the physical is $15.00 (cash or check made payable to NCHS).

When completing the CIPPE packet, please make sure to complete all sections and be sure to:

Complete Section 1: fill out the entire page with all information requested. Include your medical insurance carrier and policy number. 

Complete Sections 3-6:  please make sure that you and your athlete read through, sign and date each section in the appropriate areas. 

If you elect to have your family healthcare provider or an urgent care provider complete the physical, please submit the physical to the school office prior to August 1, 2025 (football participants may be required to be submitted earlier). Physicals must be completed after May 1, 2025 to be valid for the upcoming school year athletic season. 

The CIPPE packet is available on the NCHS website https://north-clarion.schoolblocks.com under the “Athletics” section or in the school office. 

*Fall athletics include football, cross country, golf, Jr. varsity & varsity volleyball, and soccer. There will be  opportunities for school-provided physicals for additional sports throughout the school year. Please have your student pay attention to the morning school announcements for further information throughout the school year.

The North Clarion Middle School Team of Austin Geer, Max Sporer and Dylan Morrison won the Design Award at the STEM Design Challenge competition on Thursday, March 27th at the Clarion YMCA. They were tasked with designing and building a solution to an infrastructure problem out of K'Nex pieces. The students designed a solar powered trolley system that would transport vehicles over valleys.

At the March 3rd Western State Competition held at PennWest Clarion University, North Clarion’s team composed of Julian Bellotti, Logan Bish, Luke Dinger, Gabriel Fair, Tyler Swaim, and Kevin Young were crowned senior high tournament champions and also earned the Amaze Award.

The team of Morgan Bauer, Jacob Cyphert, Ethan Hastings, and Sam Smail won the middle school Excellence Award. Both of those teams have qualified for the world championship in Dallas, Texas in May.

The Mustash-E Bros. includes Carter Dechant, Tobin Bell, Owen Vincent, Emmet Baumcratz, Waylon Shaffer and Memphis Bowser. The team was crowned the Elementary Western Pennsylvania Teamwork Challenge Champion as well as earned the Build Award at the States competition.

Mr. Ron Fenske was presented with the VEX teacher of the year award.

Congrationals to our Academic Decathlon team for finishing 3rd in the small school division!
