Sumner High School FCCLA
What is FCCLA?
FCCLA is a nationwide organization that was established in 1945 to improve students' career and family choices. The acronym "FCCLA" stands for Family, Career, Community, Leaders of America. Sumner High School's FCCLA club has been implemented since before 1993 and has grown through the years creating a strong and leader-filled club. Students have been able to have an outlet for their creative abilities in their school and home lives. Today, Sumner High School has had one of the largest FCCLA chapters seen in the school's 30 years of organization with 25 active members and 8 chapter officers. Our chapter works toward the horizons of strength and student fulfillment in the leadership aspects of their lives. Through Washington FCCLA, the Sumner chapter has been able to network with others and lead a more successful organization, gaining recognition, and leading students to win awards at the national level. The 2023-2024 officers have been working hard to do just that and so much more, guiding the chapter to success and new horizons through our chapter's programs of work, and efforts to foster a strong community within our chapter.
