Physical Education
The purpose of physical education
is to condition the muscles as well as the heart, and also relax the mental
frame of mind. Physical education is part of the wellness curriculum, but
can also be taken as an elective class.
Wellness
Lifetime Wellness is a new
approach to the old physical education and health curriculum. This
approach focuses on the principles of lifetime wellness, not solely activity and
sports. The Lifetime Wellness curriculum is consistent with the
"Healthy People 2000" national goals. Students completing this
course will be better prepared to assume responsibilities for personal lifetime
wellness. Emphasis is placed on physical activity throughout the course
and with sufficient time allotted to demonstrate improvement in health related
fitness areas. This will be taught along with nutritional information.
Driver's Education
The driver's education program at Macon
County High School is one that prepares students for the rules and regulations
of the road. It also prepares a student to handle a car on the open
road. It enables the student to obtain his/her driver's license and in
some cases, lowers insurance premiums. The class is offered mainly to
sophomores and is taught by a certified instructor with 15+ years of teaching
driver's education.
