The Student Health Department
The Student Health Department fulfills this purpose by providing care and support for students who become ill during the school day. Student physical wellness is the foundation for healthy growth, effective learning, and lifelong well-being. Therefore, the Student Health Department also encourages students to develop healthy physical habits so they may be well, steward their bodies wisely, and use their whole being to pursue excellence for God’s glory.
