ALL GHS athletes must have a valid ImPACT baseline on file in order to clear an athletic packet.

ImPACT is a sophisticated, research based computer test developed to help clinicians evaluate and manage recovery following concussions. Prior to clearing for a sport, athletes are given a baseline test. When a concussion is suspected a follow-up test is administered to see if the results have changed from baseline. This helps clinicians diagnose and manage concussions. ImPACT helps clinicians answer the difficult questions about an athlete's readiness to return to play.
