Physical Education, Health & Driver Education

The Lemont High School Physical Education Department believes that students should develop the following characteristics:
• Understanding of how physical fitness, sport and lifetime activity leads to overall wellness
• Dedication to demonstrating sportsmanship
• Sense of self discipline

Courses offered within the Physical Education curriculum provide students with activities that support the importance of physical and social potential, leading to a healthier and more productive life. The department is comprised of courses in Physical Education, Health and Driver Education.

Students are expected to:
• Dress in school uniform for each class (to promote consistency, school pride, self discipline and hygiene)
• Participate to the best of their abilities in class activities
• Demonstrate sportsmanship and cooperation in class activities
• Master concepts related to activity, including knowledge of rules and objectives
• Bring their elastic heart monitor strap to class daily

Grading Standards: Student grades are determined based on their performance on specific physical education activities, cardiovascular conditioning and written tests. Students are expected to put forth their best effort, regardless of ability or talent, and receive daily grades for their participation. Students who are not in uniform five times in a semester fail the course. Wearing jewelry is prohibited; students who do so will be penalized. New tattoos or piercings are not valid medical reasons for not participating in class. All courses are applied towards students’ cumulative grade point averages.
