Stewarts Creek Teen Living Educator Tabitha Herrin said, "I am very proud of our SCMS students in their leadership, hard work and determination to get this far in their categories. Thank you to the SCMS faculty, Mr. Creasy and Mrs. Collins for being such strong supporters of our SCMS FCCLA chapter. Without the support of our administration and faculty this would not have been a success."
