Health/Physical Education

The decisions that you make today can impact the rest of your life. High School health students are introduced to healthy living and given the opportunity to discuss and practice living the life that is right for each individual. Topics include; mental health, nutrition and exercise, body systems, drug and substance abuse and use, illness’, as well as sexual education and first aid. It is the goal of the class to allow students to ask questions and speak with experts so that they can make informed decisions throughout adulthood.
