Family and Consumer Sciences
Seven of our nine high schools offer a variety of Career and Technical Education courses that are categorized as Family and Consumer
Sciences (FACS). All schools offer Culinary Arts or Foods
classes. Other FACS courses offered at various GUHSD high
schools include:
- Child Development
- Family Living
- Independent Living
- HERO
- Hospitality
Students who take several FACS courses within a program
area (Early Childhood Professions, Food Production/Culinary
Arts), which prepares students for employment in an occupation,
gain applied competency-based academic knowledge, higher-order
reasoning and problem-solving skills, work attitudes, general
employability skills, technical skills, and occupational-specific
skills.
The curriculum for all these courses is aligned with the
Arizona Career and Technical Education Curriculum Framework.
It is our goal to prepare individuals for further education
and/or for careers in current or emerging employment sectors
by offering courses which provide students with academic and
technical knowledge and skills.
NOTE: In order to be in compliance with Arizona State Graduation
Requirements, a student must complete one credit of fine arts
OR one credit of Career and Technical Education. There are numerous
vocational classes available at each high school to meet this
graduation requirement.
