Important Message from Miss Tipton
Student success is very important to me. Please speak with me individually about specific needs, questions, or concerns; so that I can make the most of your child’s time in Family and Consumer Sciences. My goal is to teach students skills that they can use for a lifetime. I look forward to having the opportunity to introduce Family and Consumer Sciences to the EHMIS community!
