FACS course offered at LHS: Foods A -- a first semester course in food preparation and nutrition studies. Regular class activities include food preparation labs, cooperative learning groups and discovery experiences. In depth study of major nutrients underscores food lab applications.
Foods B – a second semester course in nutrition and food preparation follows similar food lab activities as first semester.
