I am delighted that you are taking a Family and Consumer Sciences. This department offers a variety of Food and Nutrition classes, and you will see that there is much to learn and do. I think you will be amazed at all you are able to experience. Chances are, if you talk to your parents or grandparents about their high school Home Ec classes, they still remember valuable lessons and rewarding experiences that they have been able to apply to day-to-day living since then. Ask and see.
I began my teaching career at Model High in 2000, and taught English from 2000-2014. After that, I joined the Career and Technical Education Department and began teaching FACS -- classes we used to call Home Ec. I have degrees in English and Education from The University of Alabama and Jacksonville State, and I have earned endorsements in Gifted Education and Online Learning.
FACS classes provide wonderful opportunities for me to be able to help you learn about nutrition and wellness and also experience, practice and perfect skills that you will use for the rest of your life, whether you use them at home with your families or in the workplace. It is my hope that this year is a fun, inspirational and enlightening experience for you.
