Program
We welcome you to our world of fitness and sports. Our goals are to help students become lifelong learners in the areas of physical fitness and sports skills. We want students to take away the knowledge and concepts associated with fitness and activities. We not only want to target physical health but emotional and mental health as well. We offer a variety of classes that students may choose to help them become motivated and to help them experience different activities.
Our classes consists of:
- 9th Grade PE
- 10/11th Grade PE
