II Course Description

III Course Goals
This course provides the student with opportunities to acquire knowledge and
information concerning the relationship of health to himself, his family, and
community. Health education at Homewood-Flossmoor High School is concerned with
the ways and means of influencing positive changes in health related behaviors;
enabling the student to act in ways which will provide optimum quality of life.
Based upon this class being designated with a Honors/College Prep distinction,
students will be expected to complete projects, explore concepts with greater
breadth, and work at a greater pace than core classes. Throughout the learning
process additional resources will be made available to students in the
classroom. I will be working to provide each student with every opportunity to
gain the most from this classroom experience.
IV Textbooks and Materials
Students will obtain a copy of Glencoe Health-A Guide to Wellness from the
