TIPPECANOE HIGH SCHOOL - Tipp City Exempted Village Schools

HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION
Physical Education Option: Effective with the 2009-2010 school year, a student can fulfill the requirement
for Physical Education by participating in and completing two full seasons of an athletic sport, cheerleading
or marching band offered through Tippecanoe High School. Since a student needs two semesters of Physical
Education, a student would need to participate in and complete two full seasons of Tippecanoe athletics,
cheerleading or marching band to meet the full graduation requirement. By meeting the graduation requirement
the student will not earn any P.E. or elective credit. An event (including, but not limited to injury, or athletic suspension)
that prevents a student from fully participating in the activity for an extended period of time could prevent
the student from earning the exemption. Any student who has not fulfilled the P.E. requirements by the
start of their senior year will be required to take P.E. at the school during the regular school day. If a student
has already passed one semester of P.E. that student would still need to participate in two seasons of approved
activity or take another semester of P.E. to fulfill the requirement. The State of Ohio does not allow for a combination
of approved activity and a P.E. class.
