GOOD NEWS…The IDPH released new guidance regarding masks and athletics. Anyone who is “fully vaccinated” no longer needs to wear a mask for any sport (including games, practices, and being on the bench).
Any PCHS athletes who wish to take advantage of this guidance will need to provide their completed Covid vaccination card to the CTE "Holman Center" entrance for our files. Summer hours are 7:30-4:00 M-Th (Closed Fridays).
