Health and Wellness
Athletics is more than a Cornerstone. The Hockaday School is committed to Physical Education and Health. Both Physical Education and Health are graduation requirements for Upper School students. Each student must complete four years of Physical Education including two semesters of Health. The following activities meet PE requirements: Upper School PE, Health, Athletics, Dance, Junior Flex, and Hockaday Alternative Athletics.
The Hockaday School Strength & Conditioning Program is an extension of the classroom by creating both a strong mind and body. Our Upper School PE and Athletic programs provide our students and our student-athletes with an opportunity to develop strength and confidence – both mental and physical – through fitness and competition.
The Sports Medicine Program provides students and student-athletes the resources to protect their health and safety and promote their physical, mental and emotional well-being.

"Athletics are a pivotal part of all our lives. Whether you are working out in the gym, playing games in PE, or competing during a game, the benefits of physical activity and exercise will carry you far beyond the playing field! Being a member of a team teaches skills necessary for a lifetime of success; working together, individual development, and shared moments of victory, all combine together to empower you to make a difference in the world."
