Greetings and welcome to the
Division of Health, Physical Education, and Athletics. We are
proud of the quality of programs within the division. Recently
our physical education major curriculum was updated and two new
certificate programs were established, The
Fitness Specialist
and The Athletic Trainers
Aid. We are also in the process of establishing a new
dance department to stand by itself, highlighting this popular
area of study.
The Health,
Physical Education & Athletics division is designed to give
students the knowledge necessary to develop lifestyles that will
lengthen and enhance the quality of their lives. Within this
department, 19 sports are offered to the Cerritos student body and
courses are popular with both students and faculty alike. During the
2006-2007 school year, we finished fifth overall in the state
athletic supremacy award. Points are awarded to each college
based on their success in state tournament competition. This
success was the highest on record for the college. This success
was spearheaded by a state championship in men's soccer and a
second place finish in softball.
I am most
impressed with the quality and dedication of our faculty, staff
and coaches. It is these committed individuals who insure the
success of the division.
I hope that you would find time to
visit with us and if you are interested in further study or
participation, please browse our offerings.
