• Providing students with pursuits of team, recreational and leisure time activities that foster and enhance healthful living habits and sound attitudes of mental, social, emotional and physical well-being;
   
• Providing students with coursework that is individualized and allows them to develop and maintain components of their personal fitness that can bestow the basis for a lifetime of fitness and exercise;
   
• Providing a firm foundation of health knowledge, attitudes and practices and providing opportunities to improve the student’s capacity for continued growth, reverence for life, respect for one’s body and concern for one’s well-being and that of others;
   
• Providing students with the opportunity to become certified in first aid and CPR, according the guidelines established by the American Red Cross.
