PHS DECA Newsletter
PHS DECA is Ready For It!
Welcome Back to School and DECA!
This year we have 36 members of PHS DECA registered as competitors to represent our chapter. Our members have been putting in long hours to attend practices, study sessions, and work with the other competitors and Ms. Allen to develop strategies and skills to rock competition this spring! On January 29th, our students will be competing in the District level of competition at Nissan Stadium. Students who place in the top 11 of their competitive category will qualify to attend the State DECA competition in March. Students who place in the top 5 of their competitive event areas at State will receive a bid to travel and compete at the international competition in Orlando, FL in late April.
The spring semester will also hold new social activities for our members, registration for fall marketing classes, and DECA banquet and graduation. As we kick off our busiest season of the year, we hope you join us in celebrating all of our successes as students and DECA members. We will release special editions of the DECA newsletter after each competition to highlight our members' success.

4th Annual DECA Breakfast with a Business
Business partners, be on the lookout for an invitation to the 4th Annual DECA Breakfast with a Business on February 22nd. Invitations will be mailed in early February. Each year our chapter hosts a breakfast for our business partners to highlight our chapter accomplishments and share how your partnership has helped us succeed. We hope to see you there.
