The goal of the Family Studies - Social Sciences and Humanities department is to ensure multiple learning opportunities through diverse course offerings for every type of learner. Since there are no mandatory prerequisites for any of our courses, this allows students to choose from the many options available throughout their high school career. The focus of the courses is to help students connect the curriculum to their everyday life.
Family Studies offers the student the opportunity to take a variety of courses to complement their interests and career plans. Family Studies offers courses in food and nutrition, parenting, fashion, family life, anthropology, psychology, and sociology.
