Grades 9‐12

PHYSICAL EDUCATION CURRICULUM

GRADES 9–12 OVERVIEW

Physical Education is an integral part of the total education of every child from kindergarten through grade 12. Therefore, every student in

grades 9‐12 should have the opportunity to participate in a quality physical education program. It is the role of quality physical education

programs to help students develop health‐related fitness, physical competence in movement activities, cognitive understanding, and positive

attitudes toward physical activity so that they can adopt healthy and physically active lifestyles. Quality programs are also important because

they provide learning experiences that meet a student’s developmental needs, which in turn helps to improve the mental alertness, academic

performance, readiness, and enthusiasm for learning. The WHS PE Curriculum will provide a quality physical education program for all ninth and

tenth grade students to satisfy the WHS graduation requirement, while offering electives for our upper class students.
