Health and Physical Education
Vision Statement
Personal well-being and lifelong learning to enhance the quality of life for the individual and the community are at the core of wellness education. Therefore, the Health and Physical Education Department fosters the core concepts proposed by the Massachusetts Comprehensive Health Curriculum Framework.
"Through literacy, self-management skills, and awareness strategies, comprehensive Health Education teaches fundamental health concepts, promotes habits and conduct that enhance health and wellness, and guides efforts to build healthy families, relationships, schools, and communities."
Departmental goals for our students hinge on the guiding principles that through the benefit of sequential and coordinated teaching of Health and Physical Education, our students will be able to…
assess risks, to consider potential consequences, and to make health-enhancing decisions.
understand and communicate health information clearly for self-management and health promotion.
enhance personal health and create a safe and supportive environment where individual similarities and differences are acknowledged.
