Memorial High School Physical Education
Six semesters of Physical Educuation(1 1/2 credits) plus one semester of Health Education
are required. Beginning with the 1997-1998 school year, ALL Physical Education classes
will be traditionally graded (A thru F). By the end of the third week of each semester,
parents will decide wether or not this grade will be counted as part of their student's Grade
Point Average (GPA).
Core Program
The core curriculum is required of all 9th and 10th graders and is based on the
philopsophy that a physically educated student needs the experience of a wide varieth of
activities before the junior year. As a result, no student will be able to take an elective
course without first completing the CORE program.
