Health is a required class for ninth grade students in the Fulton County school system.  The course offers a realistic and in-depth approach to the wellness concept, specifically covering alternatives to mental, emotional, and social health problems.  It is designed to encourage students to feel responsible for making their health decisions and to effect realization that decisions made now will affect wellness for their lifetime.

 

The Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program (ADAP) which will be taught as a unit within this course will satisfy the requirements of the Georgia law that states "after January 1, 1985, no drivers license shall be issued to anyone under the age of 18 unless they present a certificate from this alcohol and drug awareness program."

 

Format: This class will be taught using lecture, class discussion, and worksheets.  Notes will be given each day with discussion or input of class members emphasized.

 

Requirements:  Students will be required to keep the student handbook.  Article Summaries will be due every week over health related topics.  It is also a requirement in this class that students participate orally. Students will be required to read Tuesdays with Morrie.
