Philosophy

Physical Education is an integral part of the total educational process.  It is concerned with all aspects of the individual's development.

Our purpose is to provide physical education that encompasses the total body- wellness concept.  We promote this physical wellness by encouraging a comprehension of the scientific principles of fitness.

We shall promote a comprehension and an appreciation of sport.

The enjoyment of lifetime sports is achieved by providing our students with a wide variety of shill activities that develop strength, flexibility, and endurance in the setting of individual and group games.

We feel that physical education can be a useful tool in the constructive management of leisure time.

We understand the many social pressures that young people must cope with, and teach the concept of positive, social interaction in our classes.

We feel that the experiences of challenge, which is a normal facet of human life, is exemplified in physical education.  It is through active and varied participation that we hope our students a re able to learn to enjoy healthful re-creative living.
