Exciting day for Calhoun High FCCLA! Six of our dedicated members attended the Fall Region 1 Rally, diving deep into the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) programs and shining in competitive events related to Family and Consumer Sciences. They were inspired by a powerful motivational message, engaged in dynamic breakout sessions, and enjoyed networking with peers. What an amazing opportunity for growth and learning! “The ultimate leadership experience!” #FCCLA #proudtobeayellowjacket
