FCCLA students from Calhoun’s CCA are headed to state
Members of Calhoun High School’s Family, Career, Community Leaders of America students will compete in the state competition next month.
Members of the Calhoun High School’s FCCLA at the College and Career Academy recently competed in the FCCLA Region STAR Events and have all advanced to FCCLA State Competition in March.
STAR Events (Students Taking Action with Recognition) are competitive events in which members are recognized for proficiency and achievement in chapter and individual projects, leadership skills and career preparation. STAR Events offer individual skill development and application of learning through the following activities:
Cooperative— teams work to accomplish specific goals.
Individualized— an individual member works alone to accomplish specific goals.
Competitive—individual or team performance is measured by an established set of criteria.
STAR Events promote the FCCLA Mission to focus on the multiple roles of family member, wage earner and community leader. Each event is designed to help members develop specific lifetime skills in character development, creative and critical thinking, interpersonal communication, practical knowledge and career preparation.
The belief that everyone can be successful is the foundation of these events. Cooperation and competition are stressed in positive, constructive ways. Respect and interaction between youth and adults are fostered by establishing teams of adult and youth evaluators
