Our Health, Physical Education, and Recreation Department aims to promote a healthy lifestyle by cultivating an understanding of the importance of wellness and activity throughout one's lifetime. We have developed a kinesthetic approach to learning that engages our students and encourages the transfer of learning from working memory to long term application. As they develop literacies around health, our students are empowered, and in many cases inspired, to manage their own healthy lifestyles. This carries over to social maturity as well. The pillars of teamwork and sportsmanship help foster the values of cooperation, collaboration, and respect.  Ultimately, we believe that understanding injury prevention, care, and management are necessary to maintain a long, healthy, and active life.
