Middle and High School Physical Education

Physical education and health are required of all students in grades 6-10. Physical education is an elective class in grades 11-12. The middle and high school program allows at least 35%-40% instructional time for health education. Physical fitness and skills for individual and team sports skills are taught to promote and to improve physiological growth and development as well as to encourage participation in fitness activities that are the keys to a healthier, happier, and more productive life. Students are taught skills for wrestling, football, basketball, volleyball, field hockey, soccer, softball, gymnastics, rhythmical movements, recreational games, and health and physical fitness.

Instruction in health includes safety, violence prevention, first aid, disease control, nutrition, eating disorders, substance abuse prevention, emotional health, introduction to physiology, and Family Life Education. Classroom instruction in driver education is taught to all students as part of the tenth-grade health and physical education course.
