DECA is an opportunity offered by Pittsburg High School to prepare emerging leaders and entrepreneurs in marketing, finance, hospitality and management. President Herbert Hoover once said that, “the business of the United States is business.” 

DECA provides opportunities to the chapter members to learn the basics of business, how to get a job, how to dress for success, how to start on the road as an entrepreneur and opportunities to solidify these abilities in competition.
