PE & Health Courses

  • State law requires that all students pass four semesters of Physical Education or HSROTC. When the four-semester requirement has been completed, additional courses in PE may be taken as an elective subject. It is recommended that a student complete eight semesters of PE. McQueen High School is unable to provide a true "adaptive" PE program, so students who are unable to participate in PE class activities should investigate options such as HSROTC, Supplemental Credit Department’s PE offerings, or seek a medical opinion exempting the student from regular PE activities. All students must successfully pass one semester of Health or a sixth semester of HSROTC in order to meet graduation requirements.

     The Nevada State Board of Education allows a school district to exempt a pupil from a maximum of two credits in physical education if the pupil participates in school-sponsored interscholastic athletics or if the student participates in four years of the McQueen Color Guard or Marching Band. Students interested in Supervised Curriculum PE must meet strict eligibility requirements. Counselor and administrative approval must be obtained PRIOR to the first day of the semester in which the student wishes to participate. See your counselor for information.

     

    FITNESS CLASS CLOTHING REQUIREMENTS:

    Students in physical education classes held at McQueen High School will receive a class t-shirt upon payment of the lab fee. Students are expected to be prepared to dress for cold weather when appropriate. In addition to wearing the McQueen PE shirt every day, students must have a pair of shorts, sweats, a sweatshirt, socks, and tennis shoes with non-marking soles in their lockers at all times. Shorts, sweat pants, and the sweat shirt must be dress code appropriate and in black or blue. Shorts must be mid-thigh or longer in length. Students may purchase shorts for $10. It is recommended that each student have a towel in their locker. In order to register and use a gym locker, students must supply their own combination lock or purchase one from their teacher for $10. Locks that are put on a locker that have not been registered with the teacher will be removed and the contents of the locker will also be removed. Some specialized classes may require additional uniforms (see course descriptions).
