Physical Education

Our physical education department is dedicated to building knowledgeable and healthy students who will stay active for a lifetime. We use a variety of activities to keep students interested and motivated in exercise to ensure our students are getting the maximum benefits of physical education. All of our physical education units are aligned with the NASPE (the national association for sports and physical education).
