Bridgeton Public Schools is dedicated to advancing quality health education, physical education, recreation, and athletics. This will be done through offering the students activities that contribute to a healthy lifestyle that is characterized by fitness, physical activities, and appropriate health behaviors. The uniqueness of our programs is that the staff works directly to promote lifelong learning and participation in the human movement so as to enhance the quality of life for all. Our values include excellence, integrity, and innovation in all aspects of Health and Physical Education. Physical education is an integral part of the total education process. The adage, "a sound mind in a sound body" is still very appropriate today. Schools are responsible for the total development of the student and must be committed to developing the body as well as the mind. By participating regularly in a broad spectrum of activities, students have a channel of learning that allows each of them, regardless of ability, to meet physical challenges, develop essential motor skills, assess individual abilities, appreciate the fun and joy of human movement, and at the same time develop strategies for improvement.
