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).
