Kearney High School student Ava Mayse is now one of the top FCCLA competitors in the nation!

Ava represented Kearney FCCLA last week at the National FCCLA Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., where she earned ninth place in the nation in the Interior Design Level 3 competition.

Her project was comparable to a college-level capstone experience. It required an extensive understanding of interior design principles, advanced computer-aided design programming skills and exceptional attention to detail. Ava also presented and defended her work during a 10-minute presentation before a panel of judges.

FCCLA advisors Kathryn Cash and Kassidy Robertson said they are incredibly proud of Ava and everything she accomplished through this demanding competition.

This is another example of the investment Kearney School District is making in our great Bulldog community. Congratulations, Ava, on this remarkable achievement and for representing Kearney High School and Kearney FCCLA with excellence on the national stage!
