Family and Consumer Science

FACS Valentine's Cookies on PhotoPeach

All courses in the Family & Consumer Sciences are elective. Many students sample the courses available at different stages of their high school careers and discover new and exciting areas open to them.

At the core of all FACS courses you will find the threads of resource management, relationships, information skills and personal development. The skills acquired in FACS are so practical in nature; they will last a lifetime, regardless of your profession.

Those of us who were in high school several years ago may not recognize the cooking and sewing of those days. Our life skills curriculum reflects contemporary topics of a useful nature. We deal entirely with the improvement of the quality of life for the individual and the family. FACS educates to prevent problems by emphasizing problem solving and  decision making.
