The Health and Physical Education Department is an integral part of the total educational program and philosophical framework of Hoban.
Realizing that education in modern society considers the total development of the individual and that all responses involve the whole human mechanism, the challenge of the Health and Physical Education Department is to provide each student with the learning experiences necessary to develop those understandings, values and skills which will contribute to overall physical fitness and health.
The quality of an individual’s life is dependent on the ability to make choices that are beneficial to oneself and others. It is essential that each individual be able to make these choices in the areas of personal health and physical well being. The Health and Physical Education Department has as its primary objective the education of the student so that these lifetime choices can be made successfully.
As a Catholic school, Hoban communicates a conscious realization that the center of life is the person of Jesus Christ and the expression of his life through his teachings. The Health and Physical Education Department incorporates the Christian philosophy in the instructional objectives and personal realizations encouraged through its program.
