Preparing students for the 21st century cannot be accomplished without a strong and sustained emphasis on all students’ health and wellness. Today’s world has exploded with physical, mental, and social influences that affect not only learning in school, but also the lifelong health of the citizens that schools are preparing for graduation. Health education prepares students to function optimally as students, global citizens, and workers. The Health Standards encourage health literacy, which is the ability of individuals to obtain, process, and understand basic health information and services needed to make appropriate health decisions.
