Physical Education

 

The goal of the high school physical education program is to develop physically literate individuals who have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to enjoy a lifetime of healthful physical activity.

 

Anatomy & Physiology

 

The goal of the Anatomy and Physiology program is to introduce students to human anatomy with an emphasis on the systems of the body and how they are interrelated. The courses offered work to develop an anatomical vocabulary for the structure and function of the human body as well as study the physiological performance of the body and how each system is affected during lab work. Career opportunities for the health science field will be discussed through lecture and guest speakers.

*Application Process and Interview to Enroll

This semester course is designed for students to work together to fulfill the needs of all individuals with various ability levels within all typical physical education class activities including but not limited to exercises, sports/games, and various health/physical education activities. In addition to physical activities, students will engage in social and team building activities. Students in this class who may have any physical or cognitive difficulties can also benefit from the added physical activity taking place in a less restrictive class. Every attempt is made to design activities so that every student with varying ability levels has a partner working alongside him/her to complete a common goal or project. Students enrolling in partner physical education should develop partnerships that transcend this class.
