Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) enables students to find themselves while developing the necessary skills needed to succeed in the real world. Beginning in 1945 as the Future Homemakers of America (FHA), this very unique organization was, and still is today, the only student led organization with family as its main focus.

WDC FCCLA students continue leadership roles and STAR events.
