Physical Education Exemption 

All students must pass two years of Physical Education to meet state high school graduation requirements. Students may qualify for an exemption from 10th grade PE if the student:

• has successfully passed one year of 9th grade PE AND
• passes the five standards assessed in the 9th grade Physical Fitness Test (FITNESSGRAM) OR
• participates in school-sponsored athletics (one season of a sport equals one semester of PE); participation in athletics that would qualify for an exemption can be in any season in 10th through 12th grades
