    Asthma and Allergies

    •  Student athletes with asthma, life threatening allergies, epilepsy or other condition requiring emergency medication or special instruction from a physician should contact the athletic trainer with this information. It is our priority to make sure that all student athletes are participating safely and if an emergency happens we will be able to provide the necessary care.
