UNIFIED PE
Unified PE provides a unique opportunity for students with and without disabilities to come together through ongoing educational and physical activities, using the power of Special Olympics. The Unified Physical Education course is structured around the national physical education standards and grade-level outcomes. Additionally, the class supports the development of leadership skills for all students as well as the empowerment of ALL students to foster an inclusive class and school-wide environment. Students in Unified Physical Education courses may have the opportunity to participate in competitions with other schools or attend Special Olympics events.

“In the 18 years that I have taught Unified Physical Education, our Unified Program has been the most impactful program in our school, school district, and our community. We have seen our students with intellectual disabilities become loved and respected members of the SHS community, some of the best representatives of our community on a national level, and leaders of a movement that has spread to every school in our district”
