Coordinated School Health (CSH) is an effective blueprint designed by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that focuses on the whole child approach to education. CSH works to improve students' physical, mental, and social health and their capacity to learn through the support of family, community, and schools. The eight components of CSH intertwine to address the health of the students and staff. Our goal is to promote good health practices that lead to academic achievement and lifelong wellness. The 8 components of CSH are Health Education, Healthy School Environment, Health Services, Student/Family/Community Involvement, Physical Education, Health Promotion for Staff, Nutrition Services, and Counseling, Psychological, and Social Services.
