| | 2026-2027 Ochsner Holy Cross School Athletic Physicals | | |
With the 2025-2026 academic year coming to an end, we are informing you of the upcoming Ochsner Holy Cross School Athletic Physicals for the 2026-2027 school year.
The date and location of the physicals will be Monday, May 18, in the Holy Cross Student Center from 3:30–5:30 p.m.
Athletes, to complete your physical, you must arrive on May 18 with the first section of the Physical Form filled out and signed by your parent/guardian, and your $25 payment, either cash or check (checks made payable to Holy Cross School), ready. The second section of the form should be left blank for the Trainers and Doctors to fill out.
The Physical Form can be found with the other LHSAA Athletic Forms on hcnola.org under the Forms tab of the Parents & Students section at the bottom of the homepage.
Per Holy Cross School policy, NO physicals will be collected. Once the physical is completed and verified as valid, each student will be given their physical back at the end for their parents to upload onto Magnus Health. Parents, please upload the Physical Form along with the other required LHSAA Athletic Forms to Magnus Health to avoid lost or misplaced documentation.

Holy Cross School partnered with Community Coffee in its Cash for Schools Program this school year.
Continue collecting the "Proof of Purchase" labels found on the back of any Community Coffee product, and send them to school with your son to be included in their class basket. We will continue collecting labels through the last day of school. Enjoy a cup of coffee while giving back to Holy Cross!
