Congratulations to all of the Butler Tech students who competed at the 2025 FCCLA National Leadership Conference in Orlando, Florida! These students put their skills to the test on a national stage, representing Butler Tech and their associate schools with excellence.
We extend our sincere gratitude to the dedicated advisers—Amanda Manns (Ross), Ann Roberts (Ross), Sharon Gregory (Talawanda), Monica Lewis (Colerain), and Corri Hernandez (Lakota West)—for investing countless hours in preparing these students for this remarkable opportunity.
This year’s conference was also especially meaningful as we celebrated Sharon Gregory, who retired at the end of the school year after 31 years of service to Butler Tech, FCCLA, and her students. We wish her all the best as she begins this exciting new chapter!
