The goal of Physical Education at STA is to teach students to develop healthy living habits that will last a lifetime. We accomplish that by having students participate in a wide variety of activities, sports, and challenges that will increase their physical, social, and mental abilities, as well as teamwork and cooperation skills. Our goal is to provide a safe and motivating class that will encourage all students to want to participate and have fun working to the best of their ability In a faith- filled environment.
