Why FCS & FCCLA??
Family and Consumer Sciences classes and Family, Career and Community Leaders of America are a perfect fit. The classes have been designed to educate students with the skills that will help them become productive members of society. FCCLA extend learning in the classroom by allowing students to put those skills into action. For a list of ways FCCLA benefits students, teachers and schools, click the link below.
