WCS High School DECA Students Advance to Internationals

From WCS inFocus

FCA DECA

Williamson County Schools DECA students are heading to the International Career Development Conference (ICDC).

At the virtual Tennessee State Career Development Conference March 8-12, dozens of WCS high school students used their career knowledge to excel in various competitions, including business finance, human resource management and integrated marketing. As a result of their success, those students who placed high enough in their categories will compete at the ICDC April 12 through May 6.

“This placement shows the hard work that the students and teachers are doing,” said WCS College, Career and Technical Education (CCTE) Director Jeremy Qualls. “These students will compete in their respective categories against students across the nation as well as other countries. We want to wish all of the WCS students the best of luck in the upcoming competition.”
