AHS students Olivia Jones, Jayla
Parmley and Katrina Miller received gold medals for obtaining the highest
scores when they competed in STAR Events at the Family, Career and Community Leaders of
America (FCCLA) State Leadership Conference
in Columbia. The students will be
attending the FCCLA National Leadership Conference in July in Orlando, Florida. This
is the second win for Jayla and Katrina.
In July 2011, they competed on the national level in Anaheim, California
and received a national gold medal. FCCLA is unique among
youth organizations because its programs are planned and run by members. It is the only career and technical in-school
student organization with the family as its central focus. Participation in national programs and
chapter activities helps members become strong leaders in their families,
careers and communities. To become a member, students must be enrolled and have
been enrolled in Family and Consumer Science courses. Way to go Blue Jackets!
