What FCS Is Really About

The primary focus of Family and Consumer Science is on family. We study how people interact with their differing environments, as well as how our individual environments affect our behaviour and development. Our goal is to empower individuals and families within Fallon County using research provided by Montana State University. We offer our community members resources for money management, personal health and wellness, parenting, and nutrition. There is much more to Family and Consumer Science than just cooking or sewing, and we are excited to provide programs to improve the overall well-being of our community and loved ones!
