Health Required Instructor: Mrs. Ashleigh Winkler 10th Grade, Semester Health is an overview of the components that create a healthy lifestyle: Physical Health, Mental Health, Social Health, and Spiritual. It is a broad subject that encompasses many areas and will, hopefully, lay a foundation for lifelong healthy living. The goal is that through this class, you will embrace God’s desire for you to be healthy in all areas of your life, and that you will look with thanksgiving, as David did, that you are, “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:4). (DC) Speech Communication Required Instructor: Dr. Brian Albert 10th-12th Grade, Semester Students will learn how to prepare and present a series of speeches including but not limited to informative, demonstrative, persuasive, impromptu, and devotional.
