Physical Education, Health, and Wellness

At Paramus High School, we recognize that health and physical fitness are an integral part of our students’ education. Our physical education and health program goals are to promote emotional, physical, sociological, and environmental health and to create students who are active participants in fitness activities.

Physical Education Grades 9-12

The goal is to develop a level of skill that will enable students to successfully participate in physical activities. We emphasize rules of the games and sportsmanship as well as personal and class safety. We use skills tests, written tests, and assignments to measure learning. A major objective of the physical education program is active participation by students. Our students are participants, not spectators.

Juniors and seniors have the opportunity to choose the physical education activities they would like to participate in for each marking period. The number of activities offered each marking period depends upon class size and teacher availability. Each course provides the students with a basic workable knowledge and understanding of the specific activities they choose.
