“Health is the only subject matter that is going to affect a student’s life every day in high school and everyday afterwards. If you don’t have your health you don’t have anything at all. Younger kids need to learn why health is important and be able to make healthy decisions. If they are healthy they are more likely to be successful in other areas of their life.”- Andy Horne on why health is such an important part of student’s curriculum.

Recognized as the 2015 SHAPE America Health Education Teacher of the Year, Andy Horne of New Trier High School in Winnetka, Illinois has a passion for teaching and has found a way to bring fun and excitement into his classroom.

One of the special ways Horne teaches his students about their health is through the use of scholarly raps. He even has his own YouTube channel. Check out this Anatomy Rap!
