Lakeville Area Schools High School Physical Education and Health Department is dedicated to promoting the overall well-being of our students by providing comprehensive and meaningful Physical Education and Health Education courses. Our goal is to empower students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to lead active and healthy lifestyles as teenagers and for the lifetime.

Key Components of our Courses:

  • Holistic Approach: Our courses take a holistic approach, addressing not only physical fitness but also the mental, social, and emotional aspects of wellness, developing well-rounded individuals who understand the interconnectedness of their overall well-being.
     
  • Inclusive Practices: We foster inclusive and supportive environments that encourage all students, regardless of their abilities or backgrounds, to participate in health and physical activities. Our classes are designed to accommodate various skill levels and interests, promoting a sense of belonging for every student.
     
  • Physical Literacy Development: The PE curriculum emphasizes the development of fundamental movement skills, coordination, and sportsmanship. Students engage in a variety of activities that not only enhance their physical abilities but also promote teamwork, leadership, and communication skills.
     
  • Fostering Informed Decision Making: Through our health education courses, we aim to equip students with relevant, timely and comprehensive information and skills needed to make informed decisions that contribute to their overall health for the teenage years and the lifetime.
     
  • Variety of Courses: We take pride in offering a diverse range of courses to cater to the unique needs and interests of ALL our students. Whether it’s exploring different aspects of sports management, participating in individual/team sports, engaging in lifetime activities, working on strength training, dance and/or fitness activities in our Physical Education classes. Or delving into essential health topics, CPR & First aid training, or stress management in our Health Education courses, we are dedicated to providing a comprehensive and engaging curriculum no matter the course(s) you choose.
     
  • Alignment with National Standards: Our PE and Health curriculum aligns with the National Standards for K-12 Physical Education and Health Education developed by SHAPE America. These standards provide a framework for quality instruction and ensure our students are exposed to a well-rounded education in these areas. By adhering to these standards, we ensure that our students receive a high-quality education, preparing them to lead active, healthy lives now and in the future.
     

All students will take one of the required courses (PE9, PE10-12 or Online PE) as part of their graduation requirement starting with the Class of 2027. Beyond that, we offer many great elective opportunities for students who are interested in being active during their school day or simply learning a new life long activity.
