Physical Education

Welcome to the UHS Physical Education Department!

Physical Education is an activity class. Students will be engaged in daily physical activities. The P.E. department strongly encourages all students to be ready to participate with appropriate clothing. There may be a different sport activity unit covered in each of the grading periods. Some of the units that may be covered include basketball, volleyball, cross-training, softball, tennis, health, handball, Frisbee, weight training, and swimming. Four passing semesters of P.E. with a D or better are required to graduate with a high school diploma.

The goals of our program are many:

• To physically emphasize the importance of getting and keeping the body in shape.

• We would like the student to appreciate the skills necessary to participate in certain sports.

• We would ask the student to be knowledgeable of the rules that govern specific sports.

• Our intent is that the students will have the knowledge to participate in a lifetime of physical activity and fitness.
