Physical Education Standards

The State Board of Education (SBE) has the authority to adopt academic standards for each subject area in grades K-12. The SBE sets the requirements for high school graduation. Per SBE Rule, students must achieve one high school level unit of Wellness and half-unit of Physical Education in order to graduate with a high school diploma.
