Semester, 1 credit

Prerequisite: None

 

Health is a required course which all students must take to graduate from high school.  In freshman health, many topics are discussed.  The anatomy and care of the different body functions is a major part of the students’ course of study.  The student will also be exposed to many of the mental and social aspects of health education.  Late in the semester students will study human sexuality, sexually transmitted diseases and sexual behavior from an abstinence point of view.  Reading and written assignments, lectures, video tapes and guest speakers will be used to present health related information in such a way that students will be influenced to take positive action regarding their health.
