Concussions & Other Head Injuries

At SHS, we are committed to following the statewide concussion and other head injury guidelines that are provided annually to all of our student athletes and their families; parents/guardians of student athletes are required to sign a form (as provided by the Athletic Department) acknowledging their receipt of the concussion and other head injury guidelines. The district also requires all of our coaches and onsite referees to receive training on how to recognize the symptoms of a concussion or other head injury. If students or staff members are ever concerned that a concussion or head injury occurs during a school day, the student should be escorted to the Health Office immediately to receive an initial evaluation from a school nurse.
