Video fades in from a black screen to a high school student lifting weights in the weight room. In the background you can hear the clinking noises of weights.

Voice Over: In the fall of 2019, Hawken’s Physical Education program was re-established as the Human Performance Department.  The goal of Human Performance, in coordination with Hawken’s Athletic Department and Strength Program, is to provide fully integrated, developmentally appropriate curriculum and programming for all Hawken students.  The long-term active development approach features a continuum from kindergarten through grade 12. (during this intro, there are graphics of students form K-12 engaging in different activities.)

Flashes to a photo of a bubble chart enter onto the screen. It will focus on a different part of the bubble chart depending on which I am speaking about.

Voice Over: Because the HP Department recognizes the significant role that physical development plays in our daily lives, Hawken’s student-centered approach to training and fitness is designed to engage the individual, inspire confidence, and unleash potential. Every element of our program is targeted toward enhanced function and skill. The areas of focus include mechanics, fuel, training, energy systems, recovery and strength.

More photos of students focused on activities using proper form will come across the screen.

Voice Over: The mission of the Human Performance department is for individuals to identify the correlation between their physical presence and ability to perform – in the classroom, theater, band, athletics, life. We provide the platform, resources, and guidance to enhance student achievement and to strengthen athlete development. This environment allows students to experience the daily process and training necessary for success and helps inspire them to determine their own path and unleash their potential. Our students will thrive with energy and creativity while our athletes train with unparalleled competitive spirit.
