PT

PT is held every Friday during a cadet's class period.  Each cadet is expected to wear the issued shorts and shirt as well as athletic or running style shoes (see picture above). It is expected that the cadet will wash and care for this uniform appropriately.  PT is graded on a 50 point scale for participation and effort put forth (instructor discretion).   Cadets will also receive a uniform grade for wearing their PT uniform properly during PT.

Twice a year (September & April), cadets will take a physical fitness test consisting of 1 minute of push-ups, 1 minute of sit-ups and a 1-mile run/walk.  Fitness charts are used to place cadets in a percentile based on their gender and age - these are published on the cadets' google classroom.  The overall fitness percentile is calculated by taking an average of each of the 3 scores.  Cadets who score above a 75% will earn a Health & Wellness Ribbon with the corresponding star:  

Gold: 95-100% Silver: 85-94% Bronze: 75-84%
