At the awards session, they announced that the Principles of Marketing event was the largest event in the history of any DECA district competitions in history and we had a finalist!!!!  

 

All of our students did very well, improved their interview skills through practical application (role-plays), and had lots of fun!  FHS was well-represented.  Below are students receiving metals.
