Should WHS Bring Back Home Economics?

Harmony Holliday, Contributing Writer • October 21, 2024

Home Economics was a class that taught students life skills llike cooking, sewing, first aid, and even how to handle loans.

This is a class we used to have when the building was named Rogers High School. Currently, students attend KCTC for classes in cooking and woodworking.In my opinion, they should never have gotten rid of it. Home Economics is a super useful class, helping with your everyday life.

Many students and staff at WHS expressed interest in bringing back. Some even had the class when they were young and still are seeing the benefits. “I took the class in junior high and I believe that it helped prepare me to do some of the daily tasks an adult has to do,” said Ms. Sitte. “I’m currently sewing my kid’s Halloween costume and I think home ec taught me the basics of sewing, which prepared me for it.”

Harmony Holliday is one of our best writers here at the Wolf Pack Press. She is a freshman here at Wyoming High School and she is ready to sing. Harmony is a very quiet girl but that does not mean she doesn't have a big heart. “I have two dogs, Nova and Odin,” she says, “I love them both, lots.” She enjoys cuddling and playing around with her two dogs despite their big personalities. The arts are a big part of many students' lives and Harmony life is no exception. Harmony is involved in the choir here and really loves to sing with her peers. “It's just a bunch of really nice voices all coming together,” she says. Her favorite song in choir right now is “Blizzard” but she likes all of them. Choir is only one portion of the music that fills her life. Like anyone else, she struggles to come up with her favorite genre of music and artist. “I grew up with multiple genres,” she says. She decided that Dax is her favorite artist. “He's really good. … he's also collaborated and stuff with other artists that I listen to because of my dad. And it's just a really good artist,” she describes. Sports do not fill her life but her other hobbies do. She loves to watch anime, read manga, and listen to music. “My top 3 animes, I would probably say something along the lines of Demon Slayer, The Promised Neverland, Baki, Baki Hanma,” she says. She loves to read the book series of the animes and has many of the books in her collection. We are so excited to see what Harmony will write and accomplish next for the Wolf Pack Press.
