DECA officers present CTE work, ICDC qualifiers and fundraising plans
Summary
DECA officers briefed the board on CTE Month, conference timelines, state and international qualifiers (ICDC in Atlanta), school‑based enterprises that fund travel, and requests for volunteer mock judges on Feb. 23.
DECA student officers from Grandview High School presented to the board about Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month activities, competitive qualifiers and travel plans, and fundraising efforts. Angelique (S11) described CTE Month’s role in showcasing school programs and said the club seeks to expand students' opportunities for competitions and leadership growth: "CTE month is very important for DECA and a lot of... clubs at our high school," she said.
Student officers outlined timelines for the state competition and the International Career Development Conference (ICDC) in Atlanta, noted five presentations and several role‑plays, and described three school‑based enterprises (Grayson's Brews, Grayson's Decadelli, Grayson's Apparel) that help fund travel. Officers said they will run concessions and apparel sales at girls wrestling districts and host an Alex's Lemonade Stand fundraiser for pediatric cancer research. Angelique asked for adult mock judges on Feb. 23 to help students prepare; the board responded affirmatively and offered to recruit volunteers.
