In health education, emphasis is placed on acquiring knowledge and skills regarding healthy behaviors that will safeguard one's health, particularly pertaining to health risks. Students develop skills that will make them health-literate adults. By using problem-solving, research, goal-setting, and communication skills, they will gain knowledge and skills to protect their health and that of the community including an introduction to CPR. Abstinence-based programs such as “Choosing the Best Path”, Aim for Success, and "Play It Safe" are major components in providing this health information. CPR certification is provided for a fee. If a student wishes to take Health via correspondence or CBE, the student must prove CPR certification prior to approval.
