BEST 10 is the second one-credit course in Bow High School’s integrated health and physical education program.  This course emphasizes healthy relationships and personal and social responsibility.  Students study reproductive anatomy and physiology, sexually transmitted diseases, and the prevention of pregnancy through abstinence and the proper use of contraception.  Throughout the unit, students will engage in activities that recognize and promote the importance of self-respect within relationships.  The drug and alcohol unit will focus on teaching students the physiology of addiction while emphasizing the dangers of adolescent experimentation.  The School Counseling Department will work individually and with groups of students on course selection as they prepare for junior year.
