Activity Highlights

In October 2025, Mandan High FCCLA was the proud coordinator of the District Leadership Meeting. Members traveled to the Legacy United Methodist Church in Bismarck for the District 4 Leadership Meeting! Members attended breakout sessions, took professional headshots, and elected new district officers. 

Mandan High FCCLA executive council primarily organized this meeting, so it was extremely rewarding to see hard work pay off! It was a fun time, filled with high hopes and warm courage. 

Ashland Roethlisberger relinquished her title as 2024-2025 District President, and Shelby Bendish was elected as the 2025-2026 District Vice President. Learn more about these two incredibly accomplished leaders by visiting the Meet the Executive Council page!

FCCLA members from all across District 4 took part in breakout sessions, but the Community Service breakout stood out. Members made basic personal hygiene bundles for those in need. All who took part in this activity were enlightened on the struggles of people who cannot afford hygiene items and got the valuable opportunity to help people in need.

NLC 2025 was held in Orlando, Florida. It took place from July 4-11, 2025.

During the trip, chapter members went on the ultimate journey and made an endless amount of memories. Members learned a lot about FCCLA at the conferences and had a blast. Many of our members accomplished great feats in competitive events.

 Ashland Roethlisberger made top 10 in the nation in her STAR event, and Cayden Cummings got 1st place in the nation in his Financial Literacy Knowledge tests. 

The chapter not only had fun at the conference itself, but at Universal Orlando and Disney World! As you can see from the roller coaster pictures attached, members had a great time exploring these parks, especially on the Universal FCCLA reserved night, where our chapter mingled with the other chapters that attended Universal that night. 

NLC 2024 was held in Seattle, Washington and took place from June 29-July 3, 2024. Many of the Mandan High and Mandan Middle FCCLA members attended the conference. Members competed in STAR events and skill events. 

Ashland Roethlisberger took 1st in the nation in the skill event Creed Speaking. Members had an incredible amount of fun and learned a lot of valuable information on everything FCCLA related.

Fun activities in Seattle ranged from ocean kayaking to ND FCCLA state-wide group meetings. Members were extremely inspired by the national meetings and came back to Mandan with highly increased FCCLA knowledge and motivation.
