Goals and Objectives
Physical Education is the only subject, which by the very nature of its content has the potential to affect how a person will feel every moment of every day for the rest of his or her life. The Physical Education Department at NHP has as one of its goals to help each student become healthy concise minded individuals. We want to incorporate a fitness-based curriculum. We want to give our students the tools to become fit and healthy for the rest of their lives. Today’s brain, mind, and body establishes significant links between movement and learning.
