"While learning about business has been a big part of my DECA experience, DECA has meant so much more for me. Through DECA I have pushed myself outside my comfort zone and gained confidence through my role plays. I have learned how to conduct myself like a professional and have become more mature. DECA has taught me numerous life long skills in just a few years that will follow me throughout my life. I look forward to another great DECA year!"

Being the biggest club at our school, each member gets a great amount of support. I really hope that this year I can help new members appreciate the club and learn to really enjoy it."

I'm truly excited for this up and coming year and what it has to offer for both myself and the club as a whole!"
"Over the last 2 years, being apart of DECA has opened my eyes to the thrilling world of business and instilled in me a passion that I believe will never go away.
