Uncommon Middle School Physical Education (PE) Teachers cultivate a passion for an active lifestyle in every student. Our PE instruction--which promotes physical fitness to improve health and wellness, team building, and physical exercise--is culturally-responsive, fast-paced, and fun. We have built a community that encourages respect, hard work, and celebrates our students’ academic and nonacademic achievements. Our goal is for students to love learning and living a healthy lifestyle from the very start.
