Health and Fitness Department
We are committed to providing quality, purposeful, success-oriented classes for all students. Our mission is to provide an educational experience focused on lifetime health and fitness through physical activity. Our goal is to design and implement courses that empower students to lead a healthy and active lifestyle now and in the future.
The grading system is "A", pass, fail. Emphasis is placed on participation and effort, not on athletic ability. Students are encouraged to improve their personal fitness level and not to compare themselves to others. Because of the participatory nature of the classes, attendance is extremely important.
Required attire for all Health & Fitness (H&F) classes includes an Olympia High School H&F shirt and navy gym shorts or navy sweatpants, tennis or cross training shoes (no marking soles), and white socks. The H&F shirt is available for purchase at the Olympia High School Student Store.
