About the Project

This project will support the implementation of the IHT Spirit heart rate monitoring system in high school physical education classes to enhance student engagement, promote lifelong fitness habits, and provide teachers with data-driven insights. The system emphasizes effort over athletic ability, allowing for personalized learning, equitable grading, and inclusive participation for students of all fitness levels. It fosters student voice, collaboration, and goal-setting, while supporting broader wellness and academic goals. The program will also strengthen school-family relationships and community partnerships, promote equity in health education, and equip students with future-ready skills in self-management, teamwork, and data analysis. Funding will support the purchase of monitors and related technology to benefit approximately 400 students.
