Health and Physical Education

It is the goal of the Physical Education and Health Department to graduate students who are both "Physically Educated and Health Literate.” The program has been designed to meet the physical, social and emotional needs of every student.  The curriculum promotes the optimal function of the heart, lungs, muscles, and mind while encouraging physical exercise as a lifetime habit and worthy use of leisure time.  This is supported by the health curriculum, which develops a working knowledge of the body and its relationship to the environment and society. Elementary students participate in a standards-based curriculum that includes: Locomotor and Non-Locomotor Skills; Manipulative Skills; Health-Related Fitness; Cooperation and Problem-Solving Strategies in Games; Personal Hygiene; Diet and Nutrition; Basic Human Body Systems; and Safety.
