Health and Physical Education

WELCOME to Health and Physical Education at Highland Park Senior High School!

Physical Education (PE) is a course which promotes physical activity and various sports. The intent is generally to promote fitness and health, as well as the benefits of team-building, teamwork, sportsmanship, and fair play.

Health classes provide students with knowledge, attitudes, and skills to make health-promoting decisions. They address the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual dimensions of health. Good health is not a one-time decision but a series of decisions continuing throughout our lives.
