    PERSONAL FITNESS Grades 10-12

    individual development in, physical fitness emphasizing aerobic or cardio respiratory fitness, to promote lifelong
    physical activity; 2. assess health-related fitness in relation to the following components: cardio respiratory,
    flexibility, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and body composition; 3. achieve health-related fitness
    through involvement in an individually designed physical fitness program; 4. maintain personal fitness through
    regular participation in physical activity.
     
    STRENGTH & CONDITIONING Grades 10-12
    The weight-training program is designed for the student who is interested in improving his/her physical
    condition. Strength will be enhanced by a program centered around endurance, strength, flexibility, and
    an understanding of fitness development. Students will keep a record of quarterly attainment, which will
    provide an over-all picture of improvement in their level of weight training fitness.

    DRIVER EDUCATION Grade 10
    This required course emphasizes helping young people save lives. Much material in this course is
    selected because of its relation to the life or death aspect of driving. Behind-the-wheel instruction is given
    to those students who desire to take advantage of it. Students who will be 16 years old prior the end of
    the first semester of 10th grade should schedule the fall semester course. For the behind-the-wheel
    phase, students must be 16 years of age and possess a valid learner’s permit or driver’s license. Students
    may arrange for behind-the-wheel training with the instructor. This behind-the-wheel training is scheduled
    during the student’s study halls.
