physical education

Welcome to the continuing challenge of good health and physical education. We know that in our offerings you will find a class that will be appealing to you and from which you can benefit.

Our Physical Education Program allows opportunities for students to experience different exercises and activities that give them a well-balanced connection between fitness and health. The goal for this program is to encourage students to explore various methods to ensure lifetime fitness and health. Many of our students find a way to take a physical education class every semester of their high school career.

Some P.E. classes require the purchasing and wearing of the Columbine High School P.E. shirt at a cost of $15 (see class description below.) All P.E. students must wear non-marking athletic shoes compatible to our gym floor. Students must supply their own blue, gray or white shorts that cover their body, (please have a 6 inch inseam, no spandex or shorts with no inseam).

Students may take more than one PE class per semester only with the approval of the PE Department Manager.

*All physical education classes except Recreational Sports (Bowling) will meet the graduation requirement for physical education.

*All physical education classes may include the district mandated fitness components. These include the pacer test/mile run, push-ups, curl ups, sit and reach and shoulder flexibility. In addition, students will be exposed to health related curriculum skills tests and written tests. Our goal is for students to leave our programs with a better understanding of physical education both physically and cognitively.
