Electives 

Our students have an amazing opportunity to own their educational process in the electives that they choose. This page will give you an overview of each course and if you click on the document at the end of the description it will give you a full course description, scope and sequence, objectives, and standards that each class meets. We believe that this kind of exposure to physical activity will build physical literacy of individuals and allow the students to continue being lifelong healthy individuals. Please take the time and explore your options.
