The goal of Physical Education and Health courses at Lutheran High School is give students opportunities to develop skills necessary for a lifetime of activity, and to achieve and maintain healthy behaviors to enhance overall health and wellness.
Two semesters of Physical Education (PE I & PE II), are required for graduation and should be completed by the end of the sophomore year. Students participate in a variety of activities designed to develop fundamental movement patterns and promote social interaction.
