106 Health and Physical Education Purpose The Department of Health and Physical Education seeks to: 1. Provide a program that will promote the physical, intellectual, and spiritual development of each individual through the medium of physical activity. 2. Develop an awareness of the Christian's stewardship responsibility with regard to the care and use of the body. 3. Provide experiences and instruction which will help develop Christ-like attitudes and actions in and through sport, games, self-testing activities, aquatics and lifetime recreational pursuits. 4. Prepare students for careers in teaching health or physical education, coaching, athletic training, recreation, sport administration, exercise science or other related fields. Personal Requirements Students planning to pursue careers in physical education and its related areas are best prepared by taking a college preparatory curriculum in high school which includes four years of physical education and related courses. In addition, they should seek involvement in organized athletic programs and establish habits of maintaining good personal fitness. Students planning to obtain certification in athletic training or preparation in sports medicine should take as much coursework in science and mathematics as possible in high school. Each student majoring in physical education is expected to maintain a high level of personal physical fitness. An annual one and one-half mile run is used to evaluate the status of the student's fitness. Faculty Donald Callan, Chairman: Athletic Director.
