State and district standards, as well as the need for a broad-based Physical Education experience developing all eleven components of physical fitness, requires that the students become proficient in a wide variety of activities.
Due to State Physical Education Standards, students will not be allowed to take the same course twice for Wellness credit. Students may repeat a course for elective credit only. Physical Education 1 is a pre-requisite for all other PE courses and strongly recommended to be taken during the freshman year. Students enrolled in Physical Education 1 may be concurrently enrolled in Athletic Weights Conditioning with teacher required signature.
Students are strongly encouraged to take their Physical Education courses throughout their four years of high school. Waiting until the senior year to take all of the requirements is not only poor health practice, but poor schedule planning.
