    The goal of the business education department is to enhance the ability in our students to function effectively in a complex society and face with confidence the challenges that await them. Through their technological and analytical training within their business education courses, students will have a fundamental base from which to develop these skills. It is the charge of the Rockwood School Districts Business Education Department to provide students with the most up to date curriculum that meets the needs and desires of our students and the business community.

    The Family and Consumer Science Department provides opportunities for students to think critically, assume responsibility, develop dependability, honesty, and integrity; and become contributing members of society. FACS strengthens families and empowers individuals to take action for the well being of self and others in the home, workplace, community and world. Using an integrated, systemic approach to the relationships among individuals, their families, their communities and the environments in which they function, this course of study will enable students to discover and apply vocational and personal life skills in authentic modes of inquiry.

    The goal of technology education is technological literacy for all students. Technology is about doing and developing solutions to real-world problems or products that address human needs and desires. Technology education provides a vital link to the math/science/ technology triangle to assist with understanding living and working in our advanced technology-driven Information Age. Its interdisciplinary nature and process orientation also helps students to comprehend and apply these concepts in the natural sciences, mathematics, social sciences and humanities.
