Dublin Scioto High School – Health Education

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Health Education stresses the individual's physical, mental, emotional, and social development. The intent of the Health course is to help young people make independent, informed decisions concerning their well-being. Course topics include First Aid and CPR; diseases and disorders; mental health; stress; nutrition; the structure of specific body systems; human sexuality; and substance abuse. Note: Wellness courses provide learning opportunities for students to understand important health and goal setting skills, develop personal physical fitness levels, and participate in individual and team activities. Courses are focused on developing and maintaining a healthy, active, and financially productive lifestyle. Students must earn at least 0.5 credit in physical education (unless eligible for a physical education waiver), 0.5 credit in health and 0.5 in financial literacy to meet graduation requirements. Additional courses within the wellness department may be taken as electives to assist in meeting personal health and fitness goals. Note: PE & Health courses do not count towards the 5 elective credits required for graduation or OHSAA eligibility.
