Physical Education Department

Physical Well-Being for Life has been created based upon the “Healthy and Balanced Living Curriculum Framework”. Through a variety of different units, students will receive in-class instruction that focuses on the core concepts of accessing health information, self-management of healthy behaviors, analyzing internal and external influences, communication skills, decision-making, goal-setting skills, and advocacy.

In addition, students participate in physical fitness and team-related activities that encourage the learning of basic skills, techniques, rules and regulations of each activity, communication, sportsmanship, teamwork, diversity, and leadership skills. The wide variety of experiences offered is designed to allow each student the opportunity to experience activities that would benefit him in the present and in the future.

Alternating in two-week increments, students rotate between the Health Education in the classroom and Physical education in the gymnasium, weight room and outside.
