Foothill DECA Excels at District Conference

DECA, an Association of Marketing Students, gives high school students the opportunity to explore today’s business world and gain hands on experience with industry professionals as they compete.

Pleasanton’s Foothill DECA chapter competed in this year’s Northern California District Career Development Conference (CDC), which took place in San Ramon, California from January 13th-15th, 2006. Approximately 600 high school students from all over Northern California competed in 36 different events and categories, ranging from Retail Merchandising to Sports and Entertainment Marketing. As always, the competition was intense, so we would like to take this time to congratulate our winners:
