In alignment with the Tennessee Department of Education Textbook Adoption Cycle, Hamilton County Schools is selecting new Health and Wellness textbooks. Tennessee State Law (Tenn. Code Ann. § 49-6-1303) requires that districts adopt a curriculum to teach the Family Life Standards. Those standards are taught through our Health and Lifetime Wellness courses.
As part of the process, we are seeking public feedback on the committee’s final textbook recommendations to the board. Please note that the books listed below were selected from the Tennessee Department of Education-approved textbook list.
We will also host a public forum on April 15, 2026, in the HCS Board Room (3074 Claude Ramsey Parkway, Chattanooga, TN, 37421) from 5:00-5:45 PM to answer questions and hear feedback.
Below are several key links: If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Jamie Parris.
