Shorecrest DECA advisor Emily Wray is thrilled with the results of the Area II DECA competition.

It is with great please that I announce the amazing results of the Area 2 DECA Competition. Shorecrest brought 91 professionally dressed participants to compete in areas of Marketing, Finance, Hospitality or Business. 

We had a lot of new DECA members participating this year along with some veteran DECA members! 

All in all, we were sad with tight rankings for some and brought to tears watching a very happy young man live out his dreams to talk about his start up streetwear business plan.  

It may have been the highlight of my DECA career!  

We had 41 State Qualifiers! There were over 900 students present from 17 high schools.   I could gush more but just ask the kids about their experience …. here we go!
