Physically educated students develop the knowledge, skills, behaviors and confidence to lead healthy and physically active lives.
PCPS teachers provide students with a high-quality education through sequential K-12 standards-based programs of curriculum and instruction. The instruction is designed to be engaging inside the classroom and extend outside of the classroom with a focus on the whole child.
