Physical Education

The Ohio Legislature allows districts to set local policy regarding waiving Physical Education credit as a graduation requirement. The Northmont Board of Education has determined that students participating in the following activities meet the standard of activity time, and may request a Physical Education credit waiver.

Any student participating in two seasons of interscholastic athletics, which includes competition cheerleading; two years of marching band; or two years of NJROTC competition teams may apply for the waiver. The PE waiver cannot be combined with a PE class for credit. Any student interested in the PE waiver should consult a counselor.
