It was a recording breaking year for Lima Senior High students in the “DECA” program at regional competition.
Nearly 60 students were awarded for the quality of their presentations in a variety of marketing projects showcasing their skills and knowledge. All those receiving a third place and up will continue on to the Ohio DECA Career Development Conference. Instructors are beyond pleased with the student’s success.
Marketing teacher and DECA Advisor Chrissy Hood explains, “Can’t even put into words how excited we are. This has been such a tough year and so to have something come out like this for the student’s hard work really paid off and we have so much to celebrate.”
