DECA District Competition
Fairmont’s career tech programs, Marketing and Business Academy, are involved in an organization called DECA (previously known as Distributive Education Clubs of America). DECA prepares students for careers and education in marketing, finance, hospitality, management, and other business areas. Students have the options to write manuals, take tests, role play scenarios with judges, and make presentations over these topics. DECA is an international organization and can be found in other countries like Australia, Mexico, Germany, South Korea, and Turkey. Each state is divided into regions, districts, or areas. Fairmont students first compete at the district level and then the top students in their category advance to the state level. This past week, Fairmont DECA traveled to the district 4 competition. 33 of Fairmont’s marketing, business academy, sports marketing, and intro to business students placed at the district level. 28 of these students will be advancing to the state competition held in Columbus in March. Good luck to all students at their next competition!
