FCCLA promotes leadership, community service, fund-raising, and having fun. They have meetings periodically in Room 149 at lunch. Students who are interested in pursuing FCCLA after they leave their classes can stay in touch by coming to the lunchtime meetings.

As part of leadership training, students may work on a project related to family and careers, present their project to their classmates and other groups and then present before a panel of judges locally, again at a statewide competition in the spring and finally at a national convention if they achieve the highest score in their division at the state level.

The organization provides students with outstanding opportunities for personal development and leadership. The leadership project has been part of FCCLA for many years and the model they follow has been duplicated by the senior project that is now a part of state graduation requirements.
