Health
Health is a required course for all freshman. Health
education equips students with knowledge, awareness and skills so that
they can value, practice, and help others practice, healthy behaviors.
Health education is concerned with addressing students' health during
their school days and providing for lifelong health promotion. Good
health involves more than a knowledge of food and exercise; it includes
an awareness of our attitudes and feelings about ourselves and our
lifestyles. Students who are enrolled in the health course will develop
a knowledge and appreciation for their personal health as well as
develop and enhance a positive self-concept.

Physical Education classes are offered five days a week. A wide variety of
electives are offered to meet the varied interests of students. Project
Adventure offers an indoor and outdoor ropes course, as well as white water
rafting trips and cold weather survival camping.
The athletic program competes in the top league in the State of New
Hampshire, Class L. Any student participating in athletics must be passing
and receiving credit for three units of work. Our varsity athletic teams
often qualify for state tournaments and the banners in our gym reflect our
state championships. We pride ourselves on being in Class L, even though we
have one of the smallest enrollments.
The program is a recent recipient of the NHIAA Sportsmanship Award. A
full-time, certified athletic trainer is on staff for treatment and
rehabilitation of injuries. We have a 3.5 million dollar outdoor athletic
complex which includes lights, a newly renovated gymnasium with three
basketball courts, modern locker room facilities and a weight room.
