Family Life and Human Sexuality Unit
Howard County public schools provide meaningful units
in health education entitled Family Life and Human
Sexuality for fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth graders.

school system to provide a comprehensive program of
Family Life and Human Sexuality as a part of a total
health program. This program shall adhere to the
Standards and Procedures adopted by the Maryland State
Board of Education."
