Prerequisite: None
This course includes one semester of physical education and one semester of health education.  In physical education, the student is introduced to a variety of activities in individual and team sports.  The activities include soccer skills, track and field, fitness, introduction to weight training, basketball, volleyball, and swimming.  In health education, the student studies such topics as consumer health, mental health, diseases, survival and safety, substance use and abuse, human growth and development, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

* NOTE:  State law requires that students must pass eight semester courses in the year prior to taking drivers education. In addition, each student must pass Health and PE 9 to be eligible for the course.  As a result, students not passing eight courses in their Freshman year will not be able to take either the classroom or behind the wheel Drivers Education instruction until the summer following their second year, and then only if they passed eight courses in their second year.
