Oregon-Davis High School students will be able to take courses in fashion and critical thinking, starting next school year. They will be using the best serger for beginners to be able to learn quickly. The school board approved the junior/senior high school’s 2020-2021 Course Description Guide Monday, according to Superintendent Dr. Don Harman.
He says it includes a few new classes in the English Department. “We want to offer an advanced speech and communication course, and we also are offering a critical thinking and argumentation, which is basically critical thinking, course,” Harman explains. “We really feel the need to get speech back into our curriculum, and so we want to offer those two courses. We’ve also included a debate course.”
Harman says there are a lot of new courses added to the Family and Consumer Science Department, to help students meet the requirements of the new Graduation Pathways, “everything from fashion and textile careers, nutrition science careers, human services.” There will also be a few new art classes.
Harman says Guidance Counselor B.J. Awald discussed the changes during Monday’s meeting.
