Family and Consumer Sciences Education em-powers individuals and families across the life span to manage the challenges of living and working in a diverse global society. It offers a unique focus on families, work, and their interrelationships. Family and Consumer Sciences Education prepares students for family life, work life, and careers in Family and Consumer Sciences. It provides opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors that students need to become responsible citizens and leaders in family, community, and work settings; to manage resources to meet the material needs of individuals and families; to promote optimal nutrition and wellness across the life span; and to accept responsibility for their actions and success in family and work life.

In addition to classroom/ laboratory instruction, which develops the academic and technical knowledge and skills requisite for home and family life, further education, and employment, the Family and Consumer Sciences program also includes participation in the Family Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) Career Technical Student Organization. FCCLA provides an array of activities to enhance student academic and technical competencies and develop leadership and communication skills.
