Skill development in Healthful Living Education occurs both through study of the skills and thorough application of the skills to the Healthful Living Education topics and behaviors. In many cases, healthful living skills are specific applications of generic thinking skills, this includes both in the classroom as well as physical activity through our Physical Education program.

Healthful Living is a subject with great potential to positively influence the lives of students. The content and skills are directly related to the personal lives of young people.

At Roxboro Community School, we have two talented and enthusiastic teachers of Health and Physical Education. These educators recognize that well-planned and well-taught Healthful Living Education can make a difference in the quality of the lives of today's youth.
