In order for a student to graduate from TPHS, one must pass 20 credits of physical education, take the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT) AND complete the State-Mandated Health curriculum, which is integrated into our Year-One Physical Education and Dance courses. 9th-grade students are required to take a PE course, which will satisfy 10 PE credits, the required Health Curriculum, and provide time to take the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT).
