Students in grades 9 and 10 are required to take P.E. and health classes as one of their periods. Passing these classes with a 65 or higher average is a graduation requirement. Once students enter the 11th grade, P.E. becomes an elective, and no health classes are required to be taken with it. When in grades 9 and 10, students take P.E. 2 out of 3 trimesters, and the other trimester is dedicated to health.
