PHYSICAL EDUCATION
We are as excited as ever to begin the school year, and look forward to successfully implementing the program’s goal of promoting ongoing, lifelong fitness in each and every one of our students.
Students are required to actively participate in physical education classes. Children are taught how to engage in physical activities both safely and fairly. The curriculum emphasizes the necessity to participate in activities as team members. Development of Health and Skill components will be the primary focus of our daily lessons. These include:
Health Components
- Cardiovascular endurance
- Muscular Endurance
- Muscular strength
- Flexibility
- Body Composition
Skill Components
- Agility
- Balance
- Power
- Speed
- Coordination
- Reaction Time

Somers High School (Grades 9-12)
Health and Physical Education
All students in grades 9-12 are required to participate in Physical Education and earn a total of 2 credits. Students develop an increased level of fitness, acquire skills commensurate with individual abilities and potential, and experience new activities to apply during leisure time. Through their involvement, students will hopefully learn to accept and appreciate individual differences, meet and overcome personal challenges and improve levels of confidence and ability.
