Students interested in participating in spring sports at GCHS/GCMS are required to complete an ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test) prior to participating. This test, provided free to all high/middle school athletes courtesy Mayo Health Systems, measures memory, attention span, as well as visual and verbal problem solving. Before a student begins an activity, the tests generates a baseline of the student's brain functions; should a head/brain injury occur, a post-injury test is conducted and compared to the initial baseline, determining the impact on the student.
This test is required to be completed by each of our student-athletes as it serves as a safeguard. A student must have verification of a completed test every two years; if your child completed this test during the 2019-2020 or the 2020-2021 school year, he/she DOES NOT need to complete the test at this time. If you your child has not completed the test, there are two testing sessions next week - see below for dates/times and locations. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Carrie Blanchard in the Athletics' Office - carrie.blanchard@gcsd.k12.wi.us or (715)265-7472.
