DECA students head to state

DECA’s district competition was a little different this year. Atlanta DECA is part of District 6 which includes multiple schools such as Linden, Hughes Springs, Mount Pleasant, Jefferson, Mabank and Texarkana.

Students compete in different areas of business such as hospitality & tourism, management, entrepreneurship, marketing, and finance.

Normally, district competition takes place at Region 8 with judges from these areas of business, but this year students competed virtually via video presentation.

Please help me in congratulating the following students who were successful winners in District 6 and will advance to state to compete:

Jeremiah Jefferson - Automotive Services

Michael Kennedy - Business Services Marketing

Alex Jones - Sports and Entertainment Marketing

Katelynn Luce - Entrepreneurship

Will Porterfield - Quick Service Restaurant Management

Mason Thompson and Morgan Thompson - Hospitality Services Team Decision Making

Alexia Ung and Lilly Ung - Hospitality Services Team Decision Making

Jonathan Kennedy and Anthony Hamilton - Marketing Management Team Decision Making.
