MOUNT OLIVE — Mount Olive College has announced some news that may be of interest to NCHSAA member schools, as the college will now offer K-12 licensure in health and physical education.

The program will begin in the fall semester of 2012.

The health and physical education program is offered in conjunction with the Departments of Recreation and Leisure Studies and Education.
