Health Education Standards: High school health integrates a variety of health concepts, skills and behaviors to plan for personal and lifelong health goals. Students develop skills that will make them health literate adults. These include awareness and consequences of risky behaviors, disease prevention, overall wellness and identification of community health resources. Students are taught how to access accurate information that they can use to promote health for themselves and others. Their behaviors reflect a conceptual understanding of the issues associated with maintaining good personal health. Students demonstrate goal setting and communication skills to protect their health and that of the community.
