The changes haveincreased enrollment, according to Mary Shumway, who was the state specialist in the area until just recently. The Utah State Office of Education was unable to produceanyenrollment statistics, but individual schools across the state say programs are growing. For example, in 1984 Alta High School had four home economies teachers. Today there are six teachers and demand is high enoughto hire a sev- enth. However, there is no space in the building, says department ChairwomanCarolyn Chipman One of the biggest changes has been whotakes these courses, Classes that useto be all female are now integrated, with boys outnumbering girls in ome courses Nationwide, about 43% of high school students who enroll in family and consumer science courses focusedoncurrent family issues.
