Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) is a national Career and Technical Student Organization (CTSO) for students in Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) education in public and private school through grade 12. FCCLA offers intra-curricular resources and opportunities for students to pursue careers that support families. 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.

Today, more than 235,000 student members are active in over 4,900 chapters across 46 states, the District of Columbia, the American Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The work of FCCLA helps students and teachers focus on a variety of youth concerns, including parenting, family relationships, substance abuse, peer pressure, sustainability, nutrition and fitness, teen violence, and career preparation in four specific Career Pathways. Involvement in FCCLA offers members the opportunity to expand their leadership potential and develop skills for life—planning, goal setting, problem solving, decision making, and interpersonal communication—necessary in the home and workplace.

This is the perfect opportunity for chapters to network with one another and build connections that will prove useful throughout the year.

What is needed to attend?  Students must be in good academic standing in order to attend this event.  Since they will be out of school for 3 days (excused absences), it is imperative that they are not behind in any courses.  Students will need to submit a Permission Slip, a Student Participation Contract, a BCHS Educators Rising Code of Conduct, and an Educators Rising Comprehensive Consent form along with payment in full.  These forms are available online in Canvas under Course Information and hard copies will be distributed at a later date.

How does my child go to the National Conference?  If your student is competing in a national event and places in the top 5 in the state, they qualify to attend the National Conference to compete again.   The cost to attend nationals is up to $3,000 depending on the cost of air fare, lodging, and evening events.  DVUSD will cover the registration cost and $500 towards travel and lodging costs for students that qualify for nationals.  Students are expected to cover the remaining cost associated with the trip.  Please be mindful of the dates of nationals to avoid summer travel conflicts.

Questions/Concerns?  I am excited to take students to participate in this event!  Boulder Creek students have done very well in this competition in the past and we are starting to make a name for ourselves among the Early Childhood Education programs across the state.  I will have a Remind set up so students and parents can contact me at any time before or during the conference, otherwise email is the easiest way to reach me.  Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this event.  For more detailed information regarding the competitions and scholarship information, please visit www.edrisingaz.org.
