AHS FCCLA Brings Home the Gold Again

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!
