Athletics

Daily physical education class demonstrates the value that St. Hilda’s & St. Hugh’s places on the importance of physical education and the power of play to educate young children.

We endeavor to educate the whole child in body, mind, and spirit, and our P.E. and athletics program is a vital aspect of that goal. Coordination, lifetime fitness, leadership, confidence, and the ability to work as a team improve children’s performance in the classroom and prepare them to take ownership of their own health and wellness.
