Health & Physical Education at Huntington

The Huntington Physical Education Program provides the opportunity for every student to achieve success and to develop a positive attitude towards vigorous physical activity. Success and skill are measured to a point where students have a feeling of fulfillment and accomplishment. Knowledge of many different sports enables students to enjoy a lifetime of activity, expanded interests and an appreciation of others with different abilities. Organic growth and muscular strength reach their highest level in students through a sound and intensive program of physical activity. A well organized and well conducted program in physical education contributes to desirable social development, as well.

The Huntington Health Program offers students from kindergarten through 12th grade a curriculum designed to both educate and promote health awareness. At the primary and intermediate levels students receive comprehensive health education, including lessons in social and emotional health, character education, body awareness and signals, substance abuse and violence prevention. At the secondary level students receive education in mental health and self awareness, stress and stress management, the cycle of life, disease and illness prevention, fitness and nutrition, chemical abuse, human sexuality and family life. A thorough program of health education contributes toward a lifetime of good habits, behaviors and practices and assists in the prevention of poor choices, debilitating illness and disease.
