Department Philosophy
Jesuit High School’s Physical Education and Health Department encourages the student’s knowledge and implementation of a healthy lifestyle. The program allows each student to participate in a wide range of activities (classroom/gym) and learn necessary skills, strategies, and other information pertinent to health and physical education. All students must complete Physical Education I freshman year. As sophomores, students take Health. Students who transfer to Jesuit with one semester of Health and one semester of PE must register for another semester of each.
As a Jesuit work sponsored by the Society of Jesus, we align our curriculum and programs with the seven themes of Catholic Social Teaching and the four Universal Apostolic Preferences that guide all Jesuit works. See our Arrupe Center for Justice Education & Advocacy page for more information about how Jesuit engages in this mission-driven work.
