Senior Course Outline:
The physical education program for seniors places major emphasis on aerobics, tybo and strengthening excersises. They also choreograph a line dance for each section.

The health portion of the class is 70% discussion. The discussions are on typical life experiences such as relationships, family, the students' future plans, and their expectations for their future.

Course Goal and Objectives:
The goal of the Preparatory Charter School, Health and Physical Education curriculum is to help students engage in patterns of behavior that will assist in achieving and maintaining good health. Students will accomplish this by having a balance of physical, mental, social, and emotional well being. This course is designed to offer students the opportunity to acquire knowledge, develop life skills and positive attitudes about life. Development of a healthy body and mind will assist young people in living active, productive and successful lives.

All Sections and Grades:
All students are required to wear navy blue sweat pants or shorts and a navy blue Prep Charter gym shirt. Every student who takes physical education will go through strength and conditioning testing. The strength and conditioning tests consist of running a mile in 15 minutes, completing a certain number of push-ups and sit-ups in a certain length of time, and completing a specific number of pull-ups.
