    Family and Consumer Sciences

    • Family and Consumer Sciences is a field of study focused on the science and the art of living and working well in our complex world.  This field of study applies theory in a practical format. Classroom experiences encourage the student to understand and then apply the knowledge and skills necessary to meet their personal, family, and work responsibilities.

    Family and Consumer Sciences Mission

    • The mission of Family and Consumer Sciences is to empower individuals, strengthen families, and enable communities through education by preparing students to live and work in a global society.  Through hands-on lab experiences, students will apply problem-solving, decision-making, critical thinking, communication, teamwork, and creative thinking skills. By applying the curriculum skills (food preparation, childcare & sewing) students will gain a strong foundation of knowledge, skills, and behaviors essential for wellness throughout the lifespan.
