DECA stands for Distributive Education Clubs of America. This may sound vague, but actually it is related to all types of basic marketing: sports and entertainment marketing, travel, tourism and entrepreneurship expertise. It gives the students of Carter High and other schools a chance to put to use the marketing skills they have learned in class, or marketing skills they are naturally aquired with through competitions, leadership conferences, and service projects. It is also preparing emerging student leaders and entrepreneurs for college and careers. It is not too late to join the club. A student can join DECA for the 2019-2020 school year by attending a meeting before the end of October or going to room 324 to discuss obtaining your membership with Mrs. Wilson, the sponsor. The meetings are held once a month at 8:05 in room 324. Mrs. Wilson said, “Members are able to network with other students interested in business. DECA club at CHS will be participating in Operation Christmas Child and encouraging first period classes to bring in filled shoe boxes with small items for underprivileged children. DECA will also sponsor a breakfast for the first period class that fills the most boxes!” A previous member of DECA said, “I encourage all students to join DECA it is a lot of fun, and has many enjoyable activities.” In conclusion, DECA allows students to become more familiar with the world of business and allows students to grow in leadership skills.
