Renovating a Champion... Students’ physical fitness becomes concern of school Physical fitness is a concern for most Americans. Be- ing physically fit is important to one’s health and, in- directly, is a contributing factor to success in life. Recognizing this, Central High made physical educa- tion a mandatory course during two of the three years a student spent at the school. Central also offered an ex- tensive sports program. We not only want our students to be physically fit now, but we want to instill in each of them a desire to re- main physically fit throughout life, ’’ an official said. The sports program was popular. However, it was operated in such a way that it did not interfere with academic learning.
