(1 full credit:1/2 PE 9, 1/2 PE 10). Grades 10, 11 and 12 are also required to earn a half credit in Health while grade 9 is required to earn 1 credit. It has been mandated by the state legislature that alcohol and other drug use prevention and specific topics on health and safety be taught to all students in Connecticut public schools.
