What is DECA?
DECA is a club for students in the Marketing pathway and it is targeted towards students who wish to pursue a career in marketing, advertising, hospitality, finance, or management. Though all DECA members do not have to enter competitions after they join the club, most students choose to engage in competitive events that resemble the television show Shark Tank in hopes of winning scholarships and awards, while others enjoy partaking in testing-only events. DECA members also oversee the school store while assisting with community service projects and running fun social events. Known as the creative business club, DECA members also create promotional items and marketing plans for local businesses which, in turn, adds a “wow factor” to its member’s college applications.
So if you want to have fun and express your creativity or presentation skills while learning how tohelp businesses grow, then DECA just may be a perfect fit for you! Contact Mr. Sean Lewis in room E103 for more details.
