Our Mission/Vision
The core mission of the physical education department is to encourage inquiry, provide hands-on learning opportunities, and support personal growth for students. Students learn how to use the scientific method to better their physical health and general curiosity towards the world. Students lead by communicating and overcoming obstacles together in group projects and in teams on the playing field. Students serve through taking care of the athletic facilities at Merit.
