    The Family and Consumer Science department at Arlington High School is a career driven program. Family and Consumer Sciences encompasses the relationship between individuals, families, and communities, and the environment in which they live. The field represents many disciplines including nutrition, parenting, family economics and resource management, human development, textiles, apparel design, as well as other related subjects.     

    Our Culinary Arts program has many advanced courses. Many of our students continue their education at top notch schools, including the Culinary Institute of America and Johnson and Wales.

    Our Fashion program offers 3 courses. Many students have continued their education at fashion schools like the Fashion Institute of Technology. We have former students who are working in the industry. 
     
    Our Early Childhood Education program teaches students about working with younger children. After furthering their education, many former AHS students are teachers in and out of the district and a few operate their own family child care.
