Students must complete one-half (½) credit in physical education. This requirement may be met by substituting a documented and equivalent time of physical activity in marching band, JROTC, cheerleading, interscholastic athletics, school sponsored intramural athletics, and other areas approved by the local board of education.

In high schools offering programs of reserve officer training, a student may, at the student's discretion, substitute credit earned in the reserve officer training program for required credit in lifetime wellness.
