🌹 Outstanding Leaders in our FCCLA Chapter 🌹
We are beyond proud to announce that Landry Dieringer has been elected to serve as the Texas FCCLA State Vice President of Peer Involvement! 👏
This is an incredible honor and a huge accomplishment, as only a select group of students across the entire state are chosen to represent Texas FCCLA at the highest level. In this role, Landry will help lead initiatives that promote member engagement, connection, and involvement among peers across Texas.
Landry’s dedication, leadership, and passion for FCCLA have truly set her apart, and we can’t wait to see the impact she will make at the state level.
We are also incredibly proud to recognize an outstanding group of students who have earned honors through the Texas FCCLA Rose Legacy Program—a prestigious leadership recognition program that celebrates commitment, service, and personal growth. These are the highest honors that Texas FCCLA Members can earn!
The Rose Legacy Program encourages students to go above and beyond in their involvement with FCCLA by developing leadership skills, serving their communities, and striving for excellence in all they do.
There are three levels of recognition within the program:
🔹 White Rose of Integrity – Awarded to students who demonstrate strong foundational leadership by completing the FCCLA Power of One, contributing at least 10 hours of community service, attending leadership training, and earning a letter of recommendation.
🔹 Red Rose of Courage – Builds upon the White Rose requirements and includes increased service (20+ hours), participation in the Texas FCCLA Day of Service, and attendance at a regional conference—showing dedication and courage to grow as leaders.
🔹 Leadership Legacy Award – The highest honor, recognizing students who have completed all prior requirements plus 30+ hours of service, public advocacy, leadership roles, and competitive participation—truly leaving a lasting impact on their chapter and community.
