🇺🇸FCCLA National Leadership Conference🇺🇸
What an unforgettable week in Washington, D.C.! ❤️💙🇺🇸
Colquitt County High School FCCLA members Peyton George, Chloe Parks, Sophie Riggs, and Scarlet Sanchez-Presas, along with advisers Paxton Crosby and Darby Sewell, had the incredible opportunity to attend the 2026 FCCLA National Leadership Conference.
Throughout the week, students participated in leadership sessions, connected with FCCLA members from across the nation, and celebrated the impact of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America. The conference provided valuable opportunities to strengthen leadership skills, build new friendships, and be inspired by the accomplishments of fellow members from across the country.
A special congratulations goes to Peyton George, who represented Colquitt County High School in the National STAR Events competition in the Teach or Train category. Competing on the national stage is an outstanding accomplishment, and we are incredibly proud of Peyton's hard work, dedication, and professionalism.
Of course, no trip to our nation's capital would be complete without exploring Washington, D.C.! Our group enjoyed a dinner cruise on the historic Potomac River, viewed the city's iconic monuments and memorials through an electric cart tour, and visited several incredible museums, including the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the International Spy Museum, and the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. In addition, the students cheered on the Washington Nationals at FCCLA Night at the Ballpark and toured the National Smithsonian Zoological Park. These experiences brought history to life and created memories that will last a lifetime.
We are so proud of our students for representing Colquitt County High School, our community, and Georgia FCCLA with excellence. Thank you to everyone who supports our chapter and makes opportunities like this possible. We can't wait to see what this amazing group accomplishes next!
