Physical Education offers students the opportunity to participate in a variety of individual and team sport activities, as well as weight training. To go along with these activities, topics that are pertinent to the total health, wellness and fitness of the students are discussed in order to make students more knowledgeable of these topics and to help them in making decisions in regard to these topics.
