Senior High Health class will be a continuation of the work we started in middle school. We will delve deeper into the three areas of health (physical, mental/emotional and social). The skills that we will try to develop include; self-management, relationship management, stress management, communication, planning and goal setting, decision making and advocacy. We will review and expand on functional knowledge in the following areas; physical activity/nutrition, HIV/AIDS, sexual risk, family life/sexual health, tobacco, alcohol/other drugs, unintentional injuries, violence prevention and other required health areas.
Class Rules:
1. The students will be expected to bring their computer, and a pen/pencil to class everyday.
