Due to the increase of sexually transmitted diseases and infections, Lansing Eastern High School continues to provide students with comprehensive sex education
Eastern High School ensures its students are well-informed about various topics related to sex and sexuality through high-quality teaching and learning because sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are on the rise. Understanding attitudes and values about sex can help students navigate relationships with themselves, their partners, and their community while managing their sexual health. Eastern High School Assistant Principal Catherine Bates said the high school wants to empower students with facts and information to make healthy choices correlated to sex and sexual matters. “We provide it [ sex education course] so that students are fully aware and responsible,” Bates said. “It’s part of health education because we want our students to live a healthy lifestyle.
