Palm Coast, FL– Matanzas High School DECA in Palm Coast, FL was recently awarded both the Promotional and Membership Campaign Achievement Levels for the 2022-2023 school year. The results were announced on decadirect.org.
Each year, DECA recognizes leading chapters that have built strong local programs focused on serving an exceptional number of members, advisors, alumni and business partners. These chapters and individuals dedicate their year to academic and career preparation, community service projects, membership recruitment, school outreach activities and other DECA-related endeavors. The chapter’s advisor and student leaders have demonstrated extraordinary commitment to DECA.
DECA’s membership campaign is designed to help chapters grow by making the DECA experience available to more student members, keeping alumni involved and engaging professional members such as administrators, teachers, parents and business partners.
DECA’s promotional campaign provides chapter members an opportunity to share with their school and community what DECA is all about and how their chapter is making a positive impact on its members and community.
“Our chapter has been dedicated to rebuilding DECA here at Matanzas. These students are some of the hardest working young adults I know, and I am so proud to work with them as they pursue their goals,” said Julie Davis, the marketing teacher and DECA advisor at Matanzas High School.
Of the 3,200 DECA chapters, only 637 chapters earned recognition in DECA’s chapter campaigns and only 1,038 chapters earned recognition in DECA’s membership campaign.
The DECA chapter leaders that helped make this happen are: Casey Schagen, Natalie Plambeck, Maya Kulesza, Naya Guillen, Jaden Smith, Lexi Hixon, Christa Koehler along with their advisor, Julie Davis.
