DECA

DECA is an organization that teaches students business concepts in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management. Students have the opportunity to use their knowledge to compete at up to an international level. 

There is no cost for membership, however, there are many costs associated with DECA like competition registration fees and trips. 

At Harrison, just sign up on your schedule to take one of the four business courses that are offered and your advisor (teacher) will sign you up! 

In addition to classwork, students in DECA may need to participate in optional test prep days, mentor meetings (these are where upperclassmen members mentor the first year DECA members), and meetings for the leadership team. Most of these meetings take place before school, however. 

Across the globe there are nearly 260,000 high school members and at Harrison, around 250. In addition, DECA extends to the collegiate level with 4,500 members.
