Health Education

Every student must have one semester of Health Education.  In Health Education students will learn the important facts and concepts concerning their physical, mental, and social health.  Likewise in our rapidly changing world, one which constantly showers us with health-related information, we need to help students to process and evaluate this information in order to make wise choices in the best interest of their physical, social, and mental health.
