Eisenhower High FCCLA Students Advance to State Competition

The Eisenhower High School Call to Serve in Hospitality Chapter and the Delta Chapter of Family, Career & Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) attended the Region 4 Conference held in Galveston on Feb. 14-15.

The youth-developed theme, “FCCLA: A World of Opportunities,” featured a series of specialized workshops and general sessions in which members discovered ways to become actively involved in issues facing today’s youth.

STAR (Students Taking Action for Recognition) includes competitive events in which members participate in at the region and state meetings. These events allow members to showcase their life skills in different areas of competition.

A number of students from Eisenhower High have qualified to advance to the state event, which is set for April in Corpus Christi. The top six winners advance to the state event.
