The DECA Story
The DECA Story
DECA is an international club that helps prepare students who are interested in business for college and their careers. However, this club isn't only for prospective business students--we also have many students who plan to major in engineering, computer science, economics, medicine, policy, natural sciences, and more! DECA gives students the opportunity to develop their professional, presentational, and public speaking skills--all while finding a strong community along the way!
Westwood DECA will give you the opportunity to compete in real-world events and connect with others who share similar interests. Through DECA, you'll be able to compete at the district, state, and international levels, giving you the opportunity to travel while you grow as leaders and speakers.
Through DECA, high schoolers will be able to meet new people, take trips to different cities (last year was Dallas and Orlando), and earn awards, all while growing in their personal and professional lives.
