PHS DECA Newsletter
Ready for a New Year? "HERE WE GO!"
HERE WE GO into a Record Breaking Year!
We hosted our first competition interest meeting in late September and had an excellent turnout! As the semester goes on, our members will prepare for competitions this fall, and they attend the competitions in the spring semester. Through participating in these competitions, students will learn to become professionally responsible, and they will learn valuable job seeking and critical thinking/ problem-solving skills that can transfer to any industry.

Thank you to our business partners!
Thank you to our new and returning business partners this school year. It has been a record breaking year for new partnerships, and we are so excited to work with so many new businesses.
