DCG DECA Finishes Great Season at State

February 28, 2023

DCG DECA participated in the State DECA competition on Sunday, Feb. 26th, and Monday, Feb. 27th.  The competition consisted of each student taking a 100-question exam based on marketing, management, entrepreneurship, and finance concepts.   Students also chose one of 15 role-play events, read a case study, and presented their solutions to a judge.  The test scores are averaged with the role-play scores to determine the winners.  The students receive awards for the top test scores, role-play scores, and then overall placing.  Any student that places in the top 3 overall scores for each event qualifies for the International DECA in Orlando, FL.
