not sure how to fix this

On this page I have a horizontal nav. They don’t want the blog yet so I unpublished it and made a static homepage ‘Home’. The problem is is that the current page links work except for the ‘Home’ link. Here’s the code I am using `<ul id=”pagemenu”>

<li <?php if(is_home()) { ?> class=”current_page_item” <?php } ?>>/”>Home

<?php wp_list_pages(‘depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=’ ); ?>

`
Anyone have any idea how I can make the homepage tab stay highlighted?

Thank you
