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.

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.
