The Health Promotion Education (HPE) program is a health and fitness course designed to develop spiritual, environmental, emotional, social, mental, and physical aspects of wellness. The goal of HPE is to provide an intimate setting for students to learn lifelong tools in order to implement and adopt positive health behaviors. A special emphasis is placed on nutrition, lifelong physical activity, and mental health. This is a transitional program in which students have the ability to move back into his/her appropriate grade level PE course after successful completion OR remain in HPE in lieu of complete the PE 1, 2, 3, or 4 courses. Students are still held to PE standards and requirements with accommodations (per the recommendation of a physician) if necessary.
