Philosophy
Physical Education is an integral part of the total educational program of each student in our district. Through the use of sport and movement, all students will participate in a sequential, differentiated program that develops each student's personal health, fitness and safety. Through exposure to a wide variety of activities, students will gain the necessary knowledge to understand the importance of and make educated decisions around opportunities to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The values, principles and concepts associated with a quality physical education program surpass the boundaries of the gymnasium and playing fields. Physical activity is a promoter for learning in all content areas. The ultimate goal is to encourage students to be physically active for a lifetime.
