School committee approves DHS DECA overnight trip; adviser describes student preparation and fundraising
Summary
Committee unanimously approved an overnight DECA trip that will bring roughly 20–25 DHS students to a state conference and potential nationals. The DECA adviser described academic preparation, role‑play practice, fundraising and chaperone plans.
The Duxbury School Committee approved an overnight trip request for the DHS DECA program after the club’s adviser described the academic and leadership benefits. The adviser said the club doubled participation year over year, has been running targeted practice sessions for role plays and the 100‑question exam, and had raised roughly $2,000 toward transportation and conference costs.
The adviser described the DECA competition structure (a written exam plus two role plays), the professional development components and the 1:10 chaperone requirement. The committee moved and approved the trip; administrators encouraged a post‑trip presentation from students to the committee.
