One of the rich natural resources in the State of Minnesota is an abundance of wildlife species. The preservation and management of this precious resource requires a set of values and a balance perspective by the citizens of the state. Habitat management and an understanding of the characteristics of the various species can prevent their starvation, disease, and death. Education is a key component to bring all perspectives together in providing an informed citizenry on the ways and means of wildlife / natural resource management. The course content ranges from an historical perspective on various species, their characteristics and life cycles, habitat needs, habitat management, benefits wildlife provides communities, and the use and preparation of harvested game species. Students are expected to be active learners throughout each instructional unit. They will be expected to debate the issues surrounding the management of various species. This course is expected to contribute to the reality of learning through the management of wildlife / natural resources.

Park Track & Field Wants You!!

Have you ever considered participating in track & field? We are looking for solid athletes to help contribute to our program. Track & Field is a great way to meet people, stay in shape for your other sports (we do lift weights during the season), earn a varsity letter, and have a lot of fun. Track & Field offers a variety of events. You don’t have to do a field event like in junior high track. If you do field events, you don’t have to do running events. We can design workouts that are best suited to your interests. If you don’t like to run, you could be a jumper. If you have good body control, you could be a pole vaulter. Whatever your strengths track & field has an event for you.


Congratulations!

You have joined the Field and Track team at Park High School.

Track and Field? This sport offers a unique experience in the world of running, throwing, and jumping.

WBL is an educational approach that uses workplaces to structure learning experiences that contribute to the intellectual, social, academic, and career development of students and supplements these with school activities that apply, reinforce, refine, or extend the learning that occurs at a work site.
