Wakefield's Vision Statement for Health & Wellness

HEALTH: The mission of our Health department and its courses focus on increasing knowledge, developing skills, and connecting course content to real-life situations. As Health Educators, we are dedicated to helping students increase their overall health and level of success – both during and after high school. All courses offered include skills-based hands-on-learning and the integration of technology with the goal of engaging the student and enhancing their learning experience in the classroom. In addition, our courses offer opportunities for students to explore various careers. 

WELLNESS: The mission of the Wellness Program at Wakefield Memorial High School is to assist students in the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of learning so that they become lifelong movers and learners. Students are constantly challenged by physical and mental tasks which include fitness testing, developing game-like strategies, written tests, worksheets, class discussions, and attempting a new sport and/or skill. Students are able to utilize both indoor and outdoor facilities to enhance their experience at WMHS including places in the community such as Breakheart Reservation. After having four semesters of Wellness, students will have the skills and knowledge necessary to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle for a lifetime.
