The Westfield High School and Westfield Middle School Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) chapters had a great showing at the FCCLA State Conference.
Students competed in 17 events that represented all subject areas within family and consumer sciences, from interior design to early childhood education to culinary arts. The ProStart Culinary teams ranked in the Top 3 in all three categories (culinary, baking, management) and was the only high school in the state to make the stage for all three events.
