Family & Consumer Science Assessments (FCSAs) are competitive events in which members participate at the region and state levels.

FCCLA is a dynamic youth organization that has the family as the central focus. The leadership skills gained from FCCLA are very beneficial to the individual, the family, the workplace, and the community. All BHS activities have a central focus on developing leadership skills in local members, supporting family ties, and volunteering in the community. FCCLA members have the ability to utilize knowledge gained through leadership experiences to develop a solid foundation for the future.
