PHILOSOPHY 

Physical education is an important and unique part of elementary and secondary school curriculum and is critical to every child’s education. Physical education not only teaches the knowledge, skills, and confidence individuals need to be physically active and healthy, but also contributes to student success, academic achievement, and brain development. This is characterized by the integration of physical activity into daily routines and leisure pursuits. Physical education builds a foundation for increasing physical activity and healthy eating and for reducing obesity, related chronic diseases, and health care costs in the United States.

MISSION  

The Fairbanks North Star Borough School District will provide all students with a program that  reflects the National Standards for Physical Education and Alaska Content Standards Skills for a Healthy Life. Students will develop the skills for selecting, performing, and evaluating recreational and wellness activities for a lifetime of involvement in a safe and respectful learning environment.
