The level of health in schools is important because it allows for a healthy, safe, and disease-free environment where all students can learn and thrive. You have learned the five areas that schools should focus on in order to be healthy: cleanliness, clinics/school nurses, food services, health and physical education courses, and counseling services. Each one of these areas plays a vital role in the health of the students, faculty, and staff of a school. Healthy students have more success physically, academically, and socially, so take advantage of the health resources that your school offers.
