Curriculum

The focus of the Family and Consumer Sciences program is the family, self, others, and related careers. Students have the opportunity to become knowledgeable about themselves and others so they can make responsible decisions, interact effectively, and prepare for occupations, as well as the work of the family.  High school students may choose a wide variety of classes or focus on one of the following areas:

1.  Clothing, Textiles, and Interior Design

2.  Foods, Nutrition and Wellness

3.  Human and Child Development
