PORT ARTHUR INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT

SCHOOL HEALTH ADVISORY COUNCIL

The Port Arthur Independent School District has established an advisory council to advise the school board and assist the district in ensuring that local community values are reflected in the district’s health education plan.  The advisory council will advise and support the school’s effort to assess their needs to become healthy, productive citizens. 

Responsibility for the physical, emotional, social, mental, and intellectual health of our youth belongs to their families and the entire community.  Effective coordinated school health programs can contribute to helping young people avoid health risks by increasing their skills to make responsible choices about behaviors that can affect their health.
