The Physical Education Department at Scarsdale High School seeks to provide students with the opportunity to foster continued improvement of skills in order to become efficient, knowledgeable and self-confident individuals who can successfully participate and manage a healthy and active lifestyle.

The goal of the department is to offer our students diverse experiences in multiple activities. Each student will manage and maintain fitness levels and acquire skills and knowledge to participate in recreational lifetime fitness activities. In addition to the physical domain, students will develop a more positive self-concept, improve critical thinking skills, increase their appreciation for individual and cultural differences, and exhibit appropriate social and emotional behaviors.
