Although technology is rapidly changing our society, the basic needs of food, clothing, shelter, positive relationships, and satisfying work remain constant. The goal of the Home & Careers Program is to develop the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that will enable students to manage their personal family, and work lives.
At the middle school level, the program develops decision-making, problem-solving, and management skills. Content includes money management, career development, nutrition, clothing, and personal environment management. At the high school level, in-depth programs develop career skills related to specific jobs, nutrition, and early childhood education.
