WELLNESS

ABOUT US

The Wellness curriculum provides students with learning experiences that develop physical literacy and explore the connections between social, emotional, and physical well-being. Courses are designed to introduce students to health-promoting skills and activities that students can enjoy during high school and throughout their lifetime. In all Health and Wellness classes, students are challenged to think critically, communicate effectively, make good decisions, and act responsibly. Longmeadow High School promotes physical activity as part of a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle.
