WHS WELLNESS
Our Wellness Program is a comprehensive program that helps all students develop skills that will lead to lifelong leisure activities. All of our activities include safety practices, basic skills, techniques, lead-up games and assessment of these skills. The department has a very well equipped weight room that is just as busy after school as it is during the day. The Health curriculum is developed from a comprehensive Health Education framework provided by the Connecticut State Department of Education. Our overall goal is to provide a program that facilitates cooperation with parents and the community, implement a comprehensive, competency based curriculum and provide a dynamic learning environment in which to acquire the skills and competencies needed in their lives.
