Health & Fitness Education
Health Education
At BHS, Health Education is an important class for our students to take. It teaches important life skills. This course empowers students to achieve and maintain a healthy lifestyle. We address the six risky teen health behaviors recognized as CDC priority areas like addiction and mental health. Lessons are presented in a safe environment where kids are centerstage. Our mantra is “Health is personal power!”
Fitness Education
Fitness Education builds a great attitude towards lifelong activity and wellness. At BHS, we feel that it is important not only to develop healthy minds, but healthy bodies as well. Having a healthy body helps kids relax and use their minds in the classroom. Being an active participant and following the rules are crucial to having a successful experience during this course.
