PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND ATHLETICS

The Physical Education (PE) and Athletics programs across the district serve thousands of students daily at both middle and high school levels.  Programs are robust, high-participation, and essential to student wellbeing, school culture, and community engagement.

They support not only curricular PE, but also a rapidly growing athletic ecosystem—including competitive teams, before/after-school conditioning, community events, and youth sports rentals.
