Philosophy
The rapidity of physical growth, the changing perceptions of self and others, alternate feelings of self-confidence and self-consciousness, independence, peer pressure, concern with physical appearance, and changes in social relationships are areas of great importance to the early adolescent.
The health classroom is designed to be a safe environment that allows students the opportunity to share and discuss in open, trusting surroundings. Students study a wide range of physical, social, and emotional issues which affect them both as adolescents, and as members of society. The class includes activities that educate and empower students on many levels. Students also learn accurate and current information about various topics.
Students continue to develop the social and emotional skills they may need to manage health information. A primary goal of this class is to arm students with stronger factual, emotional, and social processing skills, so that they will be more equipped to make healthy decisions throughout their lives.
