physical educationPhilosophy
Physical Education is an integral part of the education process and emphasizes the importance of achieving and maintaining a healthy level of physical fitness.

Participation in Physical Education helps improve the mental, social and physical well being of all students. The goal of Physical Education is to encourage students to participate and develop an interest in physical activities with an emphasis on physical fitness.

Components of physical fitness (strength, endurance, speed, agility, and flexibility) are stressed during the warm-up and reinforced during the subsequent activity. Students will learn to demonstrate competency in many movement forms. Students will gain an understanding of the personal and social effects of physical exercise and wellness.
