Members of Haywood High School’s Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) recently attended the FCCLA National Cluster meeting, which was held in Charlotte, North Carolina. More than 1,700 of FCCLA’s student leaders, members and advisers from around the country were provided the opportunity to come together for fun and to listen to inspiring speakers, as well as to expand leadership skills, sharpen talents and explore career pathways. The theme of this year’s conference was “Exceeding Expectations” and attendees were challenged to go beyond what is expected of them to make lasting, positive impressions in their families, schools and communities. While there Mrs. Jarratt’s, Mrs. Noles’ and Mrs. Haynes’ students toured the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African American Culture, enjoyed an IMAX movie at the Discovery Place IMAX and Nature Museum, and attended a dance at the Nascar Hall of Fame.
