Health education provides students with the knowledge necessary to achieve an optimum level of health. All grades study life skills and human growth and development. 7th grade also focuses on wellness, the health triangle, and drug education. 8th grade continues the study of drug education and adds an emphasis on personal responsibility and respect.
Through health education, students will know that total health includes all of a person's emotional, intellectual, physical and social growth and development. Students will come to understand the rights and responsibilities of each individual and community as it relates to health, and that an individual can prevent health problems by practicing positive health behaviors.
