Wellness Education

Wellness education is the systematic exploration of the disciplines of health, family and consumer sciences, physical education, and outdoor education.  Course work in this area provides students with the knowledge and the opportunity to explore ways to take positive actions towards their own health and wellness and to develop skills that will allow them to resist peer pressure, to resolve conflicts, and to manage stress effectively.  The Physical Education portion of this program is designed to have the students learn and put to use the practices of a healthy lifestyle.  Each student must enroll in the equivalent of one quarter of health education and physical education each year, and must accrue at least five (5) credits of health education and five (5) credits of physical education to fulfill graduation requirements.
