- Current ninth graders who do not have physical education scheduled until the Spring semester.
- Tenth through twelfth graders who have not yet obtained certification that was offered in ninth grade.
- For those students that completed physical education via correspondence.
- Transfer students
If you fall into one of these two groups, you are required to obtain pre-certification before you can participate in the Fitness Club or with an athletic team at the Fitness Center.
Ninth graders currently taking PE will be certified in December/January for those in the fall semester and the end of February/ before Spring Break in March for Spring semester classes. If a student does not wish to pay for this course, they can wait to become certified in class. Please note that becoming certified requires that the student meet the score standards on the fitness center tests in the PE course.
