Health and Human Development
We empower students to engage in healthy lifestyles by honoring diversity and fostering leadership. We encourage them to reach their highest potential as productive, responsible citizens.
In trusting and respectful environments, we give you opportunities to examine your values and attitudes, and develop critical thinking, decision-making, self-advocacy and interpersonal skills.
All preps and new lowers take a year of health education. All seniors take a required seminar. Electives are also available.
