Electives
Physical Education and Health (Afternoon Elective)At Barnstable, we take a different kind of approach to physical education. Each trimester, students select a Physical Education-related activity that meets their needs and interests. Most of the electives can turn into lifelong pursuits. Electives meet for double time periods in the afternoon, twice per week.
