Additionally, two Clovis High School students – Joaquin Sanchez and Somtochi Anaele – are vying for 2024-2025 state officer positions, with elections to be held at the conference.
Clovis High School is proud to hold both the 2023-2024 President and Vice President positions of the New Mexico Chapter of FCCLA, with Daniel Zulueta serving as President and Oluomachi Oparaiheoma Anaele as Vice President.
