FCCLA
FCCLA is a club that allows students to experience leadership and career preparation opportunities in Family and Consumer education.
FCCLA Mission:
~~~~~
To promote personal growth and leadership development through Family and Consumer Science Education. Focusing on the multiple roles of family members, wage earners, and community leaders, members develop skills for life through character development, creative and critical thinking, interpersonal knowledge, and career preparation.
"This year's biggest focus is going to be serving our community. Although there are a lot of restrictions this year to what we can do, I still believe we can make a big difference. A lot of what I want to do this year is drives; stuff like food, clothing, winter jackets, etc. Things that will benefit low income families and the homeless."
"FCCLA has made such a difference in my life changing it for the better. It's crazy how one day, one little action can open your eyes to the future. If I would not have gone to that informational meeting in August of 2016, I don't know where I would be at today."
