The goal of the Home Economics Department is to provide students with skills for living. The department is geared toward showing the importance of the family, and to offer experiences that will strengthen family life. Mrs. Fleming, the teacher in charge, incorporates com- munity service learning into the present curriculum. Many student volunteers have done service projects for credit which focus on the community, such as assisting Learning How to Live children with learning disorders, and providing meals I on wheels for the home bound elderly. Many senior citizens have come in as speakers for human development. Mrs. Fleming also teaches sewing. The Clothing I and II students work with different fabrics and develop their sewing and tailoring techniques. The Clothing III student design their own patterns and clothes.

Preparing Students for Employment by Providing Vocational Competency Southeast Oakland Vocational Center, better known as SEOVEC, allows the students to have an alternative to col- lege by preparing them for the job market. The SEOVEC job center offers training for a specific trade or vocation such as automobile maintainance and repair, appliance repair, food service, Cosmetology, architectural, floral, and fashion design, data processing, and many others. The course is a two year program offered to juniors and seniors. The students spend approximately half the day at the center and then return to Seaholm. For the remainder of the day, the students take appropriate related courses. Much of what the students create is sold to the public. All the profit that is made in each case is directed to the SEOVEC program, thus making it possible to charge reasonable prices. The SEOVEC program has much to offer to non-academic oriented students. It gives a very real idea of what the world is like and gives students the necessary preparation for handling themselves within it. .4vR 86 X E2
