The physical education department is advancing the curriculum by adding a fitness component to complement our well-rounded team sports curriculum.  The P.E. department,  with the help of the administration and athletic department, has ordered dumbbells, yoga mats, xertubes stretch weights, stability core strengthening balls, a new fitness scale which also indicates the BMI of the individual, and much more equipment to make the students experience a positive one.  We have also written several grants to bring in Heart Rate Monitors and Dance Dance Revolution (an interactive video game).

                We have also changed the structure of our health curriculum by rotating every fourth week from health to physical education instead of our students taking health class for one full quarter,  which did not allow for much activity.  We feel these changes will help the students' over all health with the activity level  being much greater.
