Physical Education
“The Physical Education program is very interested in the success of their students. They provide a strong focus on diversity and the importance of being a life-long learner. We get to participate with schools around the county to interact with the children and play many different games with them, even before we graduate.”
- Mary Tolson, 2009 Physical Education graduate
