Physical Education in the City School District of Albany is an integral and required part of the total educational experience. Physical Education at Albany High School stresses individualized and lifetime fitness-centered activities. Our program is student-centered and focuses on participation in physical activity. Although physical activity is the centerpiece, other unique and worthy objectives are attained through a program that offers a variety of activities and experiences. Physical Education is much broader than sport as it includes physiology, theory, health, nutrition, activities and games. It uses sport as its mode to teach physical fitness and should meet the needs of all students. The goal is to expose students to a wide variety of activities so that they can use the ones they discover they enjoy as a vehicle towards achieving lifetime fitness and health. The primary goal is for students to make the connection between exercise and the role it plays in the quality of life.
Modified Physical Education
Modified activities are offered to those students with temporary or permanent disabilities as well as those students recommended by their Physical Education teacher. Instruction is based upon the individual needs of the student.
