PHYSICAL EDUCATIONPhysical education is a requirement for every able-bodied student before graduation. Each student will attain the one (1) credit needed upon successfully completing the program. This completion may occur at any time during grades 9-12.
A physician's medical waiver, prior to the start of the school year, is required of any student who is physically unable to participate in the program. Alternatives for those students will be addressed by the guidance and P.E. departments.
Classes are co-educational and, at this time, there are no provisions for homogeneous groupings. That is, freshmen may be scheduled with seniors.
The program is stressing awareness of life-time fitness and carry-over activities. Areas to be included will be individual and dual activities, rhythms, cardiovascular conditioning, cooperative efforts, which will also include some team play, health and safety issues regarding first aid and nutrition. An awareness of the students' individual development and success oriented implementation is at the base of this program.
Students must provide their own gym wear. At this time, an additional credit of physical education is not available for those students who have completed their requirement.
