General Information: Our goal in the P.E. department at Whitman is to develop an attitude in all students that exercise and activities are fun and worthwhile. We attempt to present activities in a way that will encourage improvement. We strive to maintain the Seattle School District mission statement for P.E. of being physically fit.

Many opportunities are available for students to participate in physical activities in the intramural team sports: Basketball, Soccer, Track, Ultimate Frisbee, and Volleyball.

Other opportunities for physical training are available through the After School Activities program. Classes in the After School Program vary depending on the volunteers Whitman has in each session. Some classes offered in the past have been: hip hop dancing, roller skating, bike riding, weight lifting, rock climbing, and wrestling.
