Freshman Health and Wellness

Welcome to Freshmen Health and Wellness at Notre Dame High School.

This course is designed to provide information needed to make important decisions about health, wellness, and individual lifestyle. Topics related to health such as personal health and wellness, social and emotional health, safety, nutrition and physical activity, systems of the body and diseases, mental health and disorders, and learning to cope with stress will be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the student’s acquiring knowledge and assuming responsibility for one’s own health.

Learning will take place through teacher-class discussion, reading handouts, taking notes, videos, computer activities, supplemental reading, and of course homework, quizzes and tests.

I am looking forward to getting to know each of you and providing you with a challenging but rewarding experience this year.
