Uncommon Physical Education (PE) Teachers cultivate a passion for an active lifestyle in every student. Our PE instruction–which includes sports, team building exercises, and physical exercise–is culturally-responsive and fast paced. We have built a community that encourages respect and hard work and celebrates students’ academic and nonacademic achievements. Our goal is for students to develop into strong teammates who are interested in and knowledgeable about healthy lifestyle habits.
