CCHS students attended the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) 71st Annual State Leadership Conference at Chattanooga Convention Center March 28-31, 2016. During the three day convention, students participated in competitions, attended workshops, and had the opportunity to listen to exceptional speakers.
Taylor DeArmond and Hannah Haley won 1st place in Chapter Service Project, and they will be representing Tennessee at the National FCCLA Convention in San Diego, California in July.
Cannon County FCCLA Adviser, Connie Lorance, received the Tennessee FCCLA ROSE Award. In FCCLA, the red rose symbolizes a desire for beauty in everyday living. ROSE is also an acronym for Recognition of Service Excellence. The mission of the ROSE Award is to honor an adviser who exemplifies excellent service to FCCLA. Through one-on-one or behind-the-scenes contact, the adviser has a positive influence on students, families and the community. ROSE award recipients are true goodwill ambassadors for FCCLA.
Family, Career and Community Leaders of America is a nonprofit national career and technical student organization for young men and women in Family and Consumer Sciences education in public and private school through grade 12. Everyone is part of a family, and FCCLA is the only national Career and Technical Student Organization with the family as its central focus. Since 1945, FCCLA members have been making a difference in their families, careers, and communities by addressing important personal, work, and societal issues through Family and Consumer Sciences education.
