Thirty Irondequoit High School students were winners in the 2020 DECA Regional Competition, which was held virtually. Results were announced Monday. Those students earned the right to represent Monroe County (Region 10) against the best in the state at the Virtual NYDECA State Career Development Conference (SCC) March 3-5, 2021.
*VIDEO OF PRESENTATION
In all, 70 IHS students competed. The event required students to choose an area of business to compete and take a 100-question multiple choice test, then present a solution to a role-play situation. Rather than present to a judge in person, as they'd normally do, students recorded their solutions and judges reviewed those. There are nearly 50 different competitive marketing events for students to participate in and learn about the field of marketing and management.
DECA (www.deca.org) enhances the preparation for college and careers by providing co-curricular programs that integrate into classroom instruction, applying learning in the context of business, connecting to business and the community and promoting competition. Led by business teachers Lou DiCesare, Jeanine Lent, Tricia Taylor and Lavon Bucciarelli, IHS is traditionally very strong. Students in DECA leverage their experience to become academically prepared, community oriented, professionally responsible, and experienced leaders. READ MOREvia the IHS Deca site.
