Phys Ed & Health Department

Dept Chairs: Brian Horner (bhorner@philasd.org) & John Psoras (jpsoras@philasd.org)

Through a sequential 9-12, standards-based health and physical education program, our mission is to promote lifelong learning through physical activity, exercise, and sports while supporting students in making health-conscious decisions, meeting challenges, and participating in mentally positive behaviors. We believe that through a comprehensive and quality program, our students will develop into individuals who value physical activity and maintain physically active lifestyles, becoming proficient in a variety of activities and competent in many. Our students will demonstrate personal responsibility, character, integrity, and respect for others in the classroom, gymnasium, and in life.
