2020 Updated Infomation:

Supply list - due to the Covid-19 the water fountains are currently closed so students will need to bring water with them to class to drink during exercise. Also students this year will not be required to change clothes for PE/Strength and Power but will be given the opportunity to do so if they desire.

MR.DERGE

Welcome to Physical Education at Tippecanoe High School. My name is Mr. Derge and I’m in my 8th year of teaching at Tippecanoe Schools. My first two years I worked at the middle school as an intervention specialist and my third and fourth year I’ve worked at the high school in the same role. I am excited for my fourth year teaching PE. I graduated from Wright State in 2011 with a Bachelors in Health and PE, and went back to get my masters in Special Education in 2013. The main goal of my PE class to teach and equip you with the life skills to be physically active for a life time!!!
