Mission Statement
The Township of Union Board of Education believes that every child is entitled to an education designed to meet his or her individual needs in an environment that is conducive to learning. State standards, federal and state mandates, and local goals and objectives, along with community input, must be reviewed and evaluated on a regular basis to ensure that an atmosphere of learning is both encouraged and implemented. Furthermore, any disruption to or interference with a healthy and safe educational environment must be addressed, corrected, or when necessary, removed in order for the district to maintain the appropriate educational setting.
Philosophy Statement
The Township of Union Public School District, as a societal agency, reflects democratic ideals and concepts through its educational practices. It is the belief of the Board of Education that a primary function of the Township of Union Public School System is to formulate a learning climate conducive to the needs of all students in general, providing therein for individual differences. The school operates as a partner with the home and community.

Course Description
This course is designed to give the student an understanding and appreciation of the human body’s structures and functions. By studying the disorders associated with the body’s systems, the student will understand how susceptible to disease the body can be and how decisions made in their everyday lives can affect their health.
The first half of this course will introduce the student to the basic principles of human anatomy and physiology and investigate skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Numerous laboratory exercises, audio-visual materials, demonstrations, and lectures will be utilized to demonstrate the relationship of the structures and mechanisms of each system to the functions of the entire human body.
The second half will investigate the cardiovascular, lymphatic (immune), respiratory, digestive, urinary, endocrine, and reproductive systems. The course will conclude with a fetal pig dissection.
The twelfth grade human anatomy and physiology student will explore the following content topics that are aligned with the New Jersey Core Curriculum Science Standards:
· Organization and Development 5.3.12A
· Matter and Energy Transformations 5.3.12B
· Reproduction and Heredity 5.5.12C
These topics will incorporate the following content topics where applicable:
