FAMILY & CONSUMER SCIENCES

The Family and Consumer Science Program strives to encourage the development of each individual student to his/her fullest potential. There is no greater way to improve society than to improve each family's home life. This is especially pertinent as the basis of our curriculum reflects the core of daily living. By offering courses in child growth and development, consumer education, food and nutrition and personal growth, we attempt to give each student self-esteem, confidence, and awareness of others, in order to become a responsible contributor to society.

Family and Consumer Sciences is one of three disciplines within the Health Frameworks. Each of the Comprehensive Health content areas clearly relates to the discipline of Family and Consumer Sciences. Resource Management expands personal advocacy beyond consumer health. It includes managing home, consumer, workplace and environmental resources, which is the consumer education connection with topics such as child development, food science, nutrition and sports nutrition.
