DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management in high schools and colleges. DECA's programs and activities have constantly evolved as we use the latest technology and apply cutting edge educational research. At Washington High School, students obtain real-life experience through our school Cat Shack and working in our on-campus Members First Credit Union.
DECA Gives Back!
Each school year, DECA organizes several blood drives at our high school. In November 2017 alone, DECA collected 62 units of blood at their second blood drive of the school year. This collection alone was enough to save 186 lives. Thank you to all who donated!
