Family & Consumer Sciences

Middle school Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) teaches students practical life skills they can use every day. FACS is a one semester course for all seventh graders and is called Preparing for College and Careers (PCC) for eighth graders with the opportunity to earn a high school credit. Both courses cover topics such as nutrition, cooking, clothing and textiles, child development, personal finance, family relationships, and career readiness. Through hands-on activities, students learn to make informed decisions, solve problems, and develop responsibility while exploring ways to care for themselves, others, and the environment. These real-world skills help prepare students for success at home, in school, and in their future careers.
