The physical, social, and emotional health of students can support or hinder their academic success and their prospects for a productive and healthy life. State and national data reveal that many Tennessee students engage in unhealthy behaviors that are detrimental to both their health and academic success. Bristol Tennessee City Schools and the State of Tennessee are committed to partnering with students, parents, and the entire school community to improve students' well-being and readiness to learn. The Center for Disease Control CSH model ensures that schools effectively link health with educational success. Although the eight components are listed separately, it is their composite that allows CSH to have a significant impact.
