Physical Education

The goal of the Physical Education Department reflects the same ideal as the mission of the school: the education of the total person. With this goal in mind, our department emphasizes physical, intellectual and social development through participating in vigorous physical activities and learning the principles of physical fitness and the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

All freshman are required to participate in a physical education course of their choice. These semester-long courses promote the development of lifelong positive attitudes and behaviors, while providing students with the knowledge to make wise decisions to aid in their personal wellness.
