The Health and Wellness Department hopes to create in each student an awareness of the importance the body and mind play in the development of young men and women. Each student will be able to understand that a healthy individual is not only physically fit, but also socially and emotionally well rounded. Through physical activity each student will gain self-confidence and realize the benefit fitness plays in the maturation of an individual. Through team sports the program hopes to create awareness of total health and its relationship to leading a healthy life.
Through a comprehensive health unit, all freshman and sophomore students will be capable of handling breathing and cardiac emergencies that require immediate medical response. All students will be made conscious of certain behaviors and decisions that could lead to risk of injury or illness.
All health and wellness classes use the state of the art outdoor athletic facility which includes an eight lane running track, tennis courts, soccer, baseball and softball fields.
