Athletic Physical Education

The Acalanes Union High School District requires each student to complete two years (20 credits) of Physical Education (PE) to obtain a high school diploma. Up to 10 of the required 20 credits may be earned through Athletic PE. To earn Athletic PE credits, students must enroll in the class, complete the Athletic PE Agreement, and participate in the full season of a CIF-approved, school-sponsored sport. A designated PE teacher will monitor progress and upon successful completion of the full season of sport, issue credits.

New for 2025-2026: Students participating in Athletic P.E. will no longer be required to submit weekly time cards. To earn Athletic P.E. credit, students must enroll in the Athletic P.E. course, complete the Athletic P.E. Agreement, and successfully finish a full season of a CIF-approved, school-sponsored sport. For more details, please see the information below.
