Macon County Schools Physical Education
The Physical Education programs in the Macon County Elementary Schools are committed to providing a positive, safe, enjoyable learning environment in which all students will reach their potential in the affective, cognitive and psychomotor domains.

We strive to provide a wide variety of instructional methods and activities to address diverse learning styles, interests and abilities of our students. Teachers communicate high expectations for students in all that they do. Our programs are aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study as well as the NASPE National Standards for Physical Education. All schools follow a health and physical education pacing guide in order to ensure uniformity in our instructional programs.

Our ultimate goal is to encourage and motivate all students to be physically active people at school, in the community, at home and throughout their lives as well as to develop the skills to be healthy and successful in the 21^{st century.}
