Wm. S. Hart Union School District Physical Education Mission Statement
PHYSICAL EDUCATION offers students the opportunity to learn about fitness, health, movement, and nutrition. Students will be exposed to a number of activities that will enable them to gain important knowledge in each of these areas. Our students will learn the relevance of living a healthy, active lifestyle as well as how to implement these tools into their lives now and in the future. By educating students with the skills and knowledge, they gain the appreciation and confidence to live healthy, active lifestyles.
