Physical Education

• Modern modes of living contribute to an increasing need for physical activity and education in the effective use of leisure time. This class will cover a wide range of activities which will allow students to participate in various individual and team experiences. They include flag football, soccer, softball, volleyball, basketball, golf, floor hockey, lacrosse, team handball, and physical fitness.

CAAEL PE

• CAAEL PE is a class offered to Indian Plains’ students from both Phoenix and Graduation academies. This is the one of the few classes in the IPHS curriculum that allows students from both academies to interact with each other on a daily basis. CAAEL PE combines ideologies of sportsmanship, cooperation, teamwork, positive collaboration, and empathy with the goals and procedures of the Chicago Area Alternative Education League. Students will have the opportunity to participate in a different sport each quarter

Health and Fitness

• Fit for Life is an optional physical education class offered to girls at Indian Plains High School. There are three components to the class: classroom activities and instruction, the Eola Center Fitness workout program, and time spent on nutrition. Before or after returning from each activity, time is spent in class reflecting on individual student's workout, fitness plan, and goals.  In addition, lessons may be presented addressing such topics as nutrition, wellness and self-esteem.
