All students are required, by law, to participate in daily physical education activities.  Health is a one semester course required of all students.

Instruction is given in physical conditioning activities, team and individual sports, and recreational activities.  Students may receive an exemption from this class if they meet one or more of the following conditions:  (1) active participation in an interscholastic sports program, (2) if, by enrolling in this course, the student would be prevented from taking a class required for graduation from high school, or (3) if, by enrolling in this course, the student would be prevented from taking a class required for admissions to a community college, college or university of their choice.  Students are removed from physical education classes for approximately five Fridays for CPR instruction.
