The HS activities class has participated in volleyball, badminton, pickle ball and basketball units. They first competed each sport as an individual, then with partners. This gave them an opportunity to learn how to compete as an individual then with a team.
Fitness Training class;
After completing three cycles of different workouts and maxing out in three events-bench press, squat and deadlift-We have over 98% of the students able to bench press and squat their bodyweight and deadlift more than twice their bodyweight.
