TRINIDAD — Jasmine Ross and Serenity Samora with the Trinidad High School chapter of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) represented their school at the 2023 National Leadership Conference (NLC) in Denver, July 2-6. And they didn’t come back empty-handed, earning silver medals in the Career Investigation and Leadership STAR Event competitions.
The conference drew more than 7,900 students, educators, and guests from across the nation. This gathering provided a valuable platform for attendees to expand their leadership skills, sharpen their talents, explore career pathways, and listen to inspiring speakers.
At the heart of the conference were the highly anticipated Students Taking Action with Recognition (STAR) Events. Over 4,300 FCCLA members competed in these events, where they were recognized for their proficiency and achievement in chapter and individual projects, leadership skills, and career preparation.
“These girls would make any advisor proud,” said THS FCCLA sponsor Denise Sciacca. “Their hard work and their dedication has paid off in their projects, as well as in life. They have shown their leadership in many ways through FCCLA. They are extremely driven individuals. I feel they both have the abilities to become an FCCLA state officer if they so desire.”
“If you would like to be part of this wonderful FCCLA program, please contact Trinidad High School Family and Consumer Science Department,“ said Sciacca.
