Mission and Goals of the Physical Education Department:

At Rosemont High School our classes are structured to help students demonstrate competency in physical activity and learn the value of lifelong participation to become a well-rounded individual. We encourage students to engage in a healthy lifestyle.

Classes are driven by the three standards adopted by the State of California:

Standard 1 - Students demonstrate knowledge of and competency in motor skills, movement patterns, and strategies needed to perform a variety of physical activities. (EX. Knowledge of the importance of fitness and various rules of team sports.)

Standard 2 - Students achieve a level of physical fitness for health and performance while demonstrating knowledge of fitness concepts, principles, and strategies. (EX. Participation in physical activity) 

Standard 3 - Students demonstrate knowledge of psychological and sociological concepts, principles, and strategies that apply to the learning and performance of physical activity. (EX. Positive social interaction and encouragement)

NOTE: Students must dress appropriately and participate daily to receive full credit. PE clothes can be purchased at the Student Store (next to the cafeteria) before the school year starts and during lunch. (shirt $10, shorts $15, sweatpants $20)
