Summary
The Pendleton School District Board approved health curriculum recommendations for 2025–2032: The Great Body Shop for K–8 (ODE approved) and Goodheart‑Wilcox Comprehensive Health for grades 9–12 (independent adoption).
The board approved the recommended health curriculum for the 2025–2032 school years after a presentation from Director of Curriculum, Instruction & Assessment Matt Yoshioka.
