Physical Education/Health Standards

In Highland Park ISD physical education classes, instruction focuses on the cord strands: movement patterns and skills, performance strategies, health and fitness, and lifetime wellness. State law requires that at least 50% of PE class time be spent in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, with lessons designed to be inclusive and adaptable for students of all abilities. Physical education instruction promotes safety, encourages cooperation, and fosters a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity.
