The Wellness Center is the core of the Physical Education Program and a resource for exercising beyond
the school day.
Located in the heart of the atrium and athletic complex the center is utilized daily for physical
education classes and staffed after school for team training and personal workouts.
Athletic team workouts are scheduled through the Wellness Coordinator, and are supervised by each
individual coach for their respective teams. Training sessions may be conducted simultaneously during
the 2-hour after school open exercise program, or after 4:30 p.m. for exclusive team use.
Coaches must be present during all times.

ball-playing allowed.
No loitering in the training room or Atrium. No students allowed on the second floor
