Diocesan Philosophy
The Catholic Diocese of Spokane promotes the concept that the human body is God's creation and a temple of the Holy Spirit. Regular physical activity and healthy nutritional choices in childhood and adolescence improves the function of body systems and mental acuity. As children develop and practice skills, they have the increasing opportunity to find enjoyment and fulfillment as active individuals. On these premises the Diocese provides a quality health and fitness education that helps students develop the knowledge, attitudes, motor skills, self management skills, and confidence needed to adopt, develop, and maintain physically active and healthy habits for a lifetime.

Diocesan Curriculum Goals
The implementation of this curriculum will form students who:

• Are competent in motor skills and movement patterns needed to perform a variety of physical activities.
• Achieve and maintain a health-enhancing level of nutrition.
• Participate regularly in physical activity.
• Exhibit responsible personal, social, Christian behaviors that respect self and others in physical activity settings.
• Value physical activity for health, enjoyment, challenge, self-expression, and/or social interaction.
