Physical Education Mission Statement
At all stages of life people's body systems grow, develop,
and function best physiologically when they exercise regularly
and appropriately. Significant healthful changes in one's own
well being can be achieved through developing and practicing an
individually designed exercise program which promotes optimum
health, fitness, and stress relieving elements. In order for
students to be able to make sound value judgments in their own
best interest, it is important for them to learn that physical
activity can result in their looking, feeling, and functioning
to better advantage in their day to day activities. Physical
education is an essential element in implementing the District's
educational philosophy and goals by contributing to the
physical, intellectual, and social growth of the individual. Its
purpose is to build physical fitness, teach a broad range of
psychomotor skills and movement principles, and develop
desirable attitudes and behaviors. Physical education is unique
in that it reaches education objectives primarily through
physical activity.
