Health education is a comprehensive program offered to students in grades nine, ten, eleven, and twelve. This course is designed to teach students the skills necessary to weigh options, to make responsible decisions, and to develop behaviors that promote healthy lifestyles. Students are instructed in the areas of physical, social, mental, and emotional well being with the goal of enabling them to gain the knowledge and skills essential for developing a healthy lifestyle. Students are encouraged to assess their attitudes and behavior patterns and to understand the impact their lifestyle choices have on their communities and on their own well-being. Health education is a four-year course that meets twice a week for a semester each year. It is worth .25 credit per year, and 1 full credit in health is required for graduation.
