Huge congratulations to our FCCLA leaders at FJSHS!
We are proud to announce that Eden Hill has been elected as the Kansas FCCLA Vice President of Individual Programs for 2026–2027! Eden advanced through an extensive and competitive selection process that included interviews, a knowledge test, formal questioning, and even a professional dining evaluation. It was a lengthy and demanding journey — and she handled it with confidence and excellence every step of the way.
In addition, Dakota Jones, Payton Thomas, and Jaida Bunyard have been selected to serve on the Kansas Peer Education Power of One Team!
Our Peer Education students recently completed an impressive series of career-ready tasks. Each student created a one-minute video over a National Program and submitted a professional resume and application as part of the process.
The quality of students at FJSHS is truly commendable. Their leadership, preparation, and commitment to growth continue to set the standard. We are incredibly proud of this group and the way they represent our school and community!
