FROM DECA
DECA is our competitive business team (over 200 MHS students) who compete with over 1,000 local students at districts (DS, Millis, Holliston, KP, etc.) in January.
The top 5 in each event (marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, tourism, etc.) at districts go on to compete with about 4,000 students at DECA states in February (last year over 50!). Buses and hotel rooms get expensive and we are trying to lessen the burden for students/families by this fundraiser. The top 6 at DECA states go to International DECA in Orlando in April (last year 5 students).
Students love getting this real-life experience of presenting solutions while networking with other business-interested students.
