DECA Success!!

Last week 83 DECA students traveled to Orlando to compete in the International Career Development Conference.
We received our first award during the opening ceremony on Saturday night as Mr. Oliver and one of our Presidents, Gray Suh, represented us on stage to accept our award for being the 8th largest DECA chapter in the world.
After 3 days of competition, and some fun in between, we had the following results:
Ronitha Tedla and Palak Thakker – Buying and Merchandising Team Decision Making – 1st Place
Nathaniel Autry, Francis Pham and Anish Yande – Virtual Business Challenge – Sports – 1st Place
Kirti Ganesh – Hotel and Lodging Management – 2nd Place
Landon Fluckiger and Shridhar Jayakumar – Virtual Business Challenge – Personal Finance – 2nd Place
Kathryn Lock, Emily Tando and Eesha Vykunta – Virtual Business Challenge – Personal Finance – 3rd Place
Andrew Wang and Jack Wilburn – Virtual Business Challenge – Accounting – 4th Place
Emaan Chhartriwala, Nikhil Parida and Sushant Sankilipur – Virtual Business Challenge – Fashion – 4th Place

Meghanasri Ganta, Krishna Grandhe and Maggie Ma – Virtual Business Challenge – Retail – Top 10 Finish

We are extremely proud of all of our students, especially our seniors who faced a cancelled ICDC their freshman year and a virtual ICDC their sophomore year.
Thanks to Melissa Rogers, Gloria Evans, Kevin Lewis and Elizabeth Bell for serving as chaperones and the district for covering the cost of the competition.
