Family and Consumer Sciences
OverviewWe like to refer to Family and Consumer Sciences (FACS) as classes in “Adulting.” Here is where you learn to manage a budget, plan menus and cook nutritious meals, manage a household (and decorate it!), or design and create clothes. These courses are designed to provide valuable life skills and to explore possible career fields. |
