Physical Education, Health, Driver's Ed

"...exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading; I will rather say more necessary, because health is worth more..."
-Thomas Jefferson

The two-year physical education and health program emphasizes health and physical fitness, as well as individual and team sports. Family Life Education and classroom driver education are also included in the physical education program. The goals of the program are to equip students with skills contributing to lifelong fitness and to develop students' interests in sports and physical activity, which they may pursue as adults.
