The Hillcrest High School Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) students recently participated in the Regional competition at Olivet University.

Senior Tanisha Brydie competed in the Children’s Literature Category, where she was awarded First Place after competing against 15 other schools from all over the region. Tanisha demonstrated appropriate oral pitch, tempo, and volume. “Tanisha worked extremely hard preparing for this competition. She read and studied many types of literature and I am proud of all the effort she put into her skills,” said Ms. Michelle Youngberg, Hillcrest Teacher and FCCLA Sponsor. Tanisha will represent Hillcrest at the State competition, April 16-18 in Springfield.
