The Somerville Public Schools strives to provide a diverse and comprehensive health and physical education instructional program that encourages all students to make healthy decisions and live an active lifestyle to the best of their ability across their lifetimes. The Health and Physical Education Department, led by Mr. Tim O’Keefe, has a team of school-based Physical Education Instructors who provide rigorous, fun and active class instruction. Health topics are taught by a complex network of classroom teachers, physical education instructors, guidance staff, school nurses, and community partners.
