The goal of the Office of Physical Education, Health, and Athletics is to promote the selection of life choices and to provide a healthy learning environment by teaching lifelong fitness, through the coordination of athletic programs, health education, safety, and the increase of student awareness of the harmful effects of substance use, violence and high-risk behavior. Achieving these goals will contribute to improved academic student performance and weight management by developing moral and social responsibility, as well as positive self-esteem, nutrition awareness, sportsmanship, teamwork, school spirit and a safe and drug-free learning environment. These components lead to higher fitness levels of our students and a lifelong appreciation of total wellness.
