Course Description
Transitioning into high school can be both a scary and an exciting time. Health 101 will focus on
the Transition, Organization, and Planning skills needed to be successful in high school and
beyond. This class will also prepare students to function optimally as students, global citizens,
and workers who demonstrate personal responsibility for their own personal health and fitness
through an active, healthy lifestyle that fosters a lifelong commitment to wellness. The
yearlong course will assist students in navigating their first year of high school and the myriad
of challenges that exist, while also providing academic support and mentorship from teachers.
Todays world has exploded with physical, mental, and social influences that affect not only
learning in school, but also the lifelong health of the citizens that Windsor High School is
preparing for graduation. Students will work to meet the state standards outlined in the
Comprehensive Health and Physical Education (CHPE) State Standards.
