An individual’s most valuable asset is good health. No educational process can be adequate or complete if it neglects the physical education of the individual student. Being physically fit enhances self- image and self-confidence which is important to young people in the years when they are growing socially and intellectually. The department’s basic goal is good health for a lifetime. Students learn to understand individual needs and values so they may continue to enjoy good health while growing socially and intellectually.
