    Senior Health

    This course is designed to help students recognize an emergency situation.  An emergency situation is one that demands immediate action.  The goal of this course is to train students in the basics of first aid that will help them recognize and respond to any emergency appropriately.  Their response may help save lives.  The second half of senior health is family life.  We will discuss topics including birth control, pregnancy, childbirth, abortion, adoption, child rearing and family budgeting.  This course will help students feel the reality of life’s decisions. Each class period you must be prepared with a notebook, writing utensil and any other material required for the class.  If you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility to check schoolwires for any missed work.
