Mastbaum Jules E AVTS – Health

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

Health addresses the knowledge and skills needed by students to understand health risks and the importance of healthy choices. Students receive instruction regarding choices and consequences of behaviors that result in unintentional and intentional injury, tobacco use, alcohol and other drug use, sexual behaviors that result in HIV infection, other sexually transmitted diseases, or unintended pregnancy, imprudent dietary behaviors and inadequate physical activity. Students will also review the concepts of personal, mental, consumer, community and environmental health. Students will refine critical thinking, personal and social skills in relationship to maintaining their own health and transitioning to a healthy adulthood. This course of study will reinforce the students’ ability to access accurate health information, make healthy decisions, take responsibility for their personal health, and the importance of advocating healthy choices to others as they prepare to enter post- secondary institutions, the workplace and adulthood.
