Students Bring Home State DECA Awards

DECA

Dozens of WCS students stood out among their peers at the annual Tennessee DECA Career Development Conference March 7-9 in Chattanooga.

The students placed in various competitions meant to test their career knowledge. Students who placed high enough in their categories earned a spot at the International Career Development Conference (ICDC) at the end of April. This year, the ICDC will be held in Orlando.

Additionally, several school DECA teams earned a School-Based Enterprise Gold Certification. This certification recognizes outstanding achievements for school-based enterprises.
