Health Literacy in the 21st Century
The intent of health education is to help our students understand how to achieve & maintain lifelong, healthy habits. Our curriculum places a strong emphasis on skill development in the areas of acquiring health knowledge, accessing health resources, practicing healthy behaviors, analyzing the influence of media & other cultural influences on health decisions, developing communication skills, setting goals & making health-related decisions as well as advocating for personal, family & community health. We hope that these skills will teach our students self-responsibility, motivation & excellence in learning, as well as life long committment to health & wellness.
