Academics at 300 West Baker Road When the school year began, seven new voca- tional classes were offered and seven voca- tional classes were either reorganized or re- named. The classes that underwent changes were modified at the state level rather than district level. “It was the State Board of Vocational Education that de- cided to rename these classes state-wide, said Mrs. Janie Christian, assistant principal in charge of cur- riculum. Among these new classes offered were Microcom- puter Processing, which offered one more outlet for students to meet the computer literacy requirements for graduation. Other new additions were Wildlife. Animal Science and Equine Science which allowed students to learn about certain critters without taking the full year of Agriculture. Metal Fabrication, Interior Design and Advanced Child Development were also on the list of new classes. For students with Advanced Woodworking on their schedule, it now appeared as Product Systems A. Be- sides having new names or being new, one class changed location; this was Industrial Cooperative Training 1 and 2. “This class used to be offered to both Sterling and Lee students but taught only at Sterling. Now they are taught at the Stuart Career Center so both schools can have access to the class, Mrs. Christian said. Even though some new classes were introduced and some changed names, the majority of the classes offered at 300 West Baker Road remained the same. 30 Academics
