Welcome to Monticello's Family & Consumer Science Department, my name is Alyssa Ambrosius and I have taught as a FCS teacher at Monticello High School since 2010.
I am originally from Green Bay, Wisconsin (Yes, I am a Packer Fan) and ventured out to Minnesota when I attended the University of Minnesota for a major in Psychology and a minor in Family Social Sciences. From there, received my Masters degree in Family Social Science Education, also from the University of Minnesota, and a post master's certificate in College Admissions Counseling. I am also a Pro-Start certificated Culinary Instructor and Certified ServSafe Instructor. Lastly, I am an active member of the Minnesota Association of Family & Consumer Science Teachers and am a believer that lifelong learning never ends.

I have a passion for everything Family Consumer Science classes have to offer. From Interior Design to Teen Issues, Culinary to Fashion Engineering & Design, our courses allow a unique opportunity for students to create and experience learning beyond a textbook. My goal with all of my courses is to take core educational skills of math, science, and technical reading and teach those within my hands on classroom. In addition, it is important to me that many of our FCS classes are articulated with area colleges, offering our Monticello students a pathway from high school to a post-secondary career.
