Shorecrest and Shorewood students participating in DECA have received additional honors as they prepare for state and international conferences.

The School-Based Enterprise (SBE) "Scot Shoppe" at Shorecrest was among 166 school-based enterprises in the United States achieving Gold Level Certification (or Gold Level Re-certification) this year and will be recognized at DECA’s International Career Development Conference in Anaheim, California in April. 

The students who worked on the certification were Crisleen Malabanan, Sage Kay and Keegan DeVitis with the assistance of their advisors Amy Delich and Emily Wray. The school-based enterprise at Shorecrest High School has operated for more than 20 years.

At Shorewood, Stephanie Chan, Eric Berquist, and Hanna Al-zeer have qualified for the DECA International Competition for the student store.  These three students wrote a 40-page operations manual focusing on promotion tactics, inventory controls, and management practices. They will give a presentation on the Shorewood store operations in Anaheim.

The following Shorewood students submitted 15-30 page business plans and will now join the students who qualified in early January for the state competition in March. Damon Oliveto is the school’s DECA advisor.
