Physical Education Department

A physically educated Pershing student will have the knowledge and ability needed to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle.
Physical Education Requirements and Class Participation
During the first week of school, our P.E. teachers will discuss class expectations with the students. If you have specific questions, call or email your child's P.E. teacher directly. For 5th grade families who would like more information about our program, please attend one of our campus tours and/or the Incoming 6th Grade Parent Orientation in August. Administrators, teachers, or staff will be available at these events to answer any questions. For all other concerns, call the school office at (619) 362-3550.

Please note, students will not suit up for PE during the first week of school, however, we recommend ordering PE items early in case you run into any shipping or sizing issues.
Families do not have to purchase PE uniforms through Pershing. Families may go to any local retail store to purchase these items. The uniform, however, must conform to the Pershing PE uniform colors: gray t-shirt and black mesh athletic shorts with no pockets. Lace up athletic shoes are also required. A gray pull-over sweatshirt and gray sweatpants are also acceptable. Students must change into the required PE uniform to participate in PE activities and earn academic and citizenship grades.
