What year did STAR Events begin?

STAR Events, which stands for Students Taking Action with Recognition, began in 1983. This initiative was developed as a way to provide students with opportunities to demonstrate skills learned through Family and Consumer Sciences education and leadership development. The introduction of STAR Events allowed participants to showcase their talents, creativity, and teamwork in various competitive events, effectively enriching their education and helping to prepare them for future careers. The establishment of these events marks a significant milestone in the history of FCCLA, as it emphasizes the importance of hands-on experience and recognition in personal and professional development.
