Sports physicals will be provided to Pulaski County Public School students who will be enrolled in the 6th through 12th grades during the 2018-2019 school year.  Pulaski County High School, in conjunction with Lewis Gale Hospital Pulaski, is excited to offer this service. The physicals will take place at PCHS in the Career and Technical Education Building on Wednesday, May 9 beginning at 3:30 pm.  The cost will be $10 dollars and students should arrive with their Virginia High School League physical form completed and signed by both student and parent/guardian.  Physical forms are available in the front offices of Pulaski County High School, Pulaski Middle School, and Dublin Middle School, or can be printed at vhsl.org. In an attempt to expedite this process, the start time for current PCHS students is 3:30 pm. Current middle school students should arrive no earlier than 4:25 pm to prevent overcrowding and congestion.
