Welcome to FAMILY & CONSUMER SCIENCE!

Classes in this pathway will provide students with an opportunity to learn and acquire skills in food choices for optimal health for a lifetime.

 Science is integrated into the pathway and creates the potential for the final two courses to earn a fourth science credit. Students discuss the basic chemistry concepts of food science and evaluate the effects of processing, preparation, and storage on foods' quality, safety, wholesomeness, and nutritive value. 

Students may look for a career as a food scientist, nutritional consultant, food quality control, test kitchen, or food preparation facility. This pathway culminates with an opportunity for students to take the National Restaurant Association’s end-of-pathway assessment and potentially earn ServSafe certification. 

In Georgia, a food safety certification is not only important - it is the law. Georgia law requires at least one food service manager on staff to have completed a food safety training program and passed an ANSI-CFP exam.

The ServSafe® program is the hospitality industry’s premier food safety education and training program. It is recognized and accepted by more federal, state, and local health jurisdictions than any other food safety training program. Students learn to create a culture of food safety while earning the ServSafe Food Handler Certification, accredited by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-Conference for Food Protection (CFP).

Expectations for all students are to learn every day and to have fun! Full participation, respect for all, and your best every day are necessary.
