About the Big Decisions Curriculum

Big Decisions is an "abstinence-plus" sexual health curriculum designed to empower students to make informed, healthy choices for their future. The program emphasizes the benefits of postponing sexual activity while providing age-appropriate, medically accurate guidance to reduce risks such as sexually transmitted infections and unintended pregnancy. Aligned with district standards, the inclusive curriculum supports students in setting personal goals and staying focused on their aspirations.
