Health

The goal of the Heritage Middle School Health Education program is to equip students with the necessary tools to engage in healthy behaviors throughout life. Research continues to support the need for comprehensive sequential instruction to reduce the risk-taking behaviors and encourage health-promoting behaviors among youth. By the end of grade eight, students will be aware of the important health risks for their age group and be able to appraise their own health and fitness status, health behavior, and potential for health risk. Students will employ a variety of critical thinking processes to solve a variety of health-related problems and make health-related decisions.
