Physical Education Department
The Segerstrom High School Physical Education department aligns our curriculum with both the National and California State Standards as well as with the California Physical Education Framework to provide a diversified program of developmental activities, sports, aerobics, and rhythms which are suited to the diversities, abilities, and limitations of all students enrolled in our program. We are committed to providing a safe environment and a standards-based curriculum. We believe and abide by the premise in the California Framework that the “quality and productivity of each individual’s life can be enhanced through participation in a comprehensive, sequential physical education system that promotes physical, mental, emotional and social well-being.” Each and every student can achieve excellence, regardless of size, maturity, coordination, body-type, or other physical capability. Physical Education is an integral part of the total education program.
It is our mission at Segerstrom High School to develop and maintain healthful habits that lead to increasing or maintaining an optimal level of fitness. All students will know and understand the implications and the benefits that are sustained through regular daily activity. We want all students to value lifelong physical activity as a foundation for a healthy, productive and fulfilling life. A student with a sound mind will be better suited to succeed academically!
