Coatesville Area Senior High School, including both the 9/10 Center and 11/12 building, should maintain the Physical Education program as it currently stands. The credit requirements should not be reduced. Physical Education and Strength Training classes provide students with a chance to build a healthy lifestyle while in school. If these classes are eliminated, the students would need to go somewhere and the already crowded classrooms would be overflowing. Alumni have benefited, current students are thriving, and future students need to have the opportunity to improve their physical strength in the midst of a rigorous academic schedule.


Without the mentors that teach these classes today, these crucial programs that develop not only athletes, but all students at CASH will no longer benefit the student body. Our athletic programs have flourished under their guidance but the countless students who did not excel on an athletic field have established healthy habits that create a more resilient society. Finances should never be the deciding factor in this situation.


Keep Physical Education and Strength Training as the cornerstone to every student’s future success at CASH.

My sons have greatly benefited from this class....they're actually learning healthy workout routines. This class should remain as is so that students/athletes who really care about improving their strength under guided instruction can continue!

With obesity among children on the rise, we need to teach them the importance of health and fitness through Physical Education. Please do not eliminate this program, as it may be the only chance some children have to learn about their health.

for a school that stresses dedication when it comes to sports and athletics, it makes absolutely no sense why you would go to such a great length to get rid of such a great program that clearly over half of the student body wants to see stay.

V and Eb's classes show the students good everyday work out routines that can help build strength and endurance. it helps kids with their self esteem and help keep kids fit and an opportunity to change themselves for the better.

Taking Eb and V's class has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I only had the chance to take the strength training classes for 2 years, but I've noticed major improvement in my durability and athletic performance.

Strength training with Eb and V for 4 years at Coatesville were the best. Those two guys are the coolest trainers I had. With the weight room it helped the football team in 2012 win districts through hardwork everyday in the weightroom.

The strength training program at Coatesville is one of the few things I take pride in saying I was a part of in high school. I can easily say that I learned more from this program than I learned from all of my academic classes combined. It made a huge impact on my life and many others. I have younger siblings who still attend Coatesville High school and I hope that they are given the same opportunities as I was.
