The goal of Health Education in Arlington High School is to help establish patterns of behavior that will assist a person in achieving complete health. This is done by following the NYS health education standards along with updated current facts and events going on around us. 

This is a mandated course needed for general graduation from high school.
Complete health is accomplished by having a balance of physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. This course is designed to offer students in grades 10, 11 and 12 the opportunity to acquire knowledge, incorporate process and life skills, and develop positive attitudes about life. Building a solid foundation of good decision-making skills can contribute to a variety of healthy choices for themselves and others.
Although the knowledge components are addressed through seven different content sections, the development of skills and attitudes has been woven throughout each of the seven areas. Development of a healthy body and a healthy mind will assist young people in living active, productive, and successful lives.
