Doubling D.E.C.A numbers

DECA students from the school, along with approximately 3,000 other DECA members from around the state, recently attended the State Leadership Conference at the Virginia Beach Convention Center.

DECA sponsor Jade Bolling attended the conference with the five Falcons who were chosen to compete, including Bradley Creamer (12), Michelle Ashby (11), Jade Davis (10), Philip Malatmatos (11), and Olivia Mlinscek (10).

Ashby placed in the top eight in the Business Finance Services category, qualifying her to attend DECA National Competition next month in Nashville, TN.

“This competition is huge in Northern Virginia and those schools bring hundreds of kids. We are growing though and our numbers have doubled since last year,” Bolling said. “Our goal for the future is to bring more kids to the state competition and eventually to nationals.
