Fashion Marketing teacher Mrs. Bolling and her students recently attended the Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA ) state competition in which 11 members competed. Bolling has acted as DECA advisor for the past ten years.
According to Bolling, who has been the club’s advisor for the past ten years, describes DECA as a co-curricular club associated with marketing classes where students are given the opportunity to compete with other high school students, network, and ultimately become “future-ready”.
The objective overall was to make it to the International Career Development Conference (ICDC) held in Anaheim, California, the last weekend in April when participants, including McCauley and Balci, will compete in one of DECA’s competitive events to earn the title of “best in the world”.
According to California DECA, over 22,000 high school students, advisors, businesspeople, and alumni gather during Internationals for several days of “DECA excitement.”
Furthermore, the ICDC competition will include many leadership and career-advancing academies for students and advisors to embrace.
