I would like to begin this evening by congratulating our students in DECA. We had over 20 students compete in the DECA competition last week, with 16 of them scoring proficient or better. Jaron Sears, Chasten Coleman, Kylee Johnson, Anna Kathryn Kilby, and Riley Warfel were finalists in at least one event, and Chasten Coleman finished in 1st place in Principles of Marketing.
