| The aim of
health education stresses the importance of good health in our
lives. The world health organization used this definition for
health: "a state of complete physical, mental, and social
well-being, not merely the absence of disease or infirmity." The foundation for health is basically a personal matter, since each individual plans for future happiness and success, based on the assumption that they will enjoy good health. Presently, the maintenance of good health by the individual is dependent on the community health practices, as well as world-wide health matters. too many young people take good health for granted. We attempt to provide leaning experiences that will favorably influence understanding, attitude and conduct in regard to good health for all. |

fitness is the basic objective of our physical education program.
Our program seeks to develop physically sound bodies with which an
individual can enjoy for many pleasurable years. Fitness is essential
for the enjoyment of sports and recreational activities. Our
physical education program intends to supplement the basic fitness
program by teaching skills of sports and recreational activities
that can be played throughout life. We can no longer afford to
consider anyone fully educated until he knows how to keep himself in
the best possible condition at all times. Our physical education program consists of aerobics, pillow polo, wiffle ball, softball, nerf football, touch football, speedball, calisthenics, running, bowling, golf, basketball, floor hockey, tumbling, apparatus, weight training, wrestling, track and field activates, and the President's Physical Fitness Test. Physically handicapped students are encouraged to participate to the maximum of their abilities. Doctor's excuse slips are necessary to be excused from physical education. |
