The Physical Education and Health Department requires five semesters of classes. This requirement is met by completing one semester of physical education each year and one semester of health during the sophomore year. The curriculum was created using the Illinois Learning Standards. Our vision is to provide a program in which all students’ value physical activity and wellness, have the knowledge and skills to engage in and achieve it, and are confident and motivated to do so. In each class, emphasis is placed on the development of the proper technique, etiquette, and effort needed to participate safely in various physical activities.
