Health
The relationship between mind, body, and spirit is central to the purpose of this class. Students explore the concept of health and how they apply to the choices we make every day.
Lifetime Sports
This physical education class is designed for Juniors and Seniors who are ready for more advanced activities. The goal of this class is for each student to become aware of and participate in a variety of sporting activities that can become integral parts of his or her recreational life. Activities such as backpacking, skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, jogging, and strength training can be enjoyed well past the prime years. They are also excellent ways to maintain physical fitness throughout ones life.
