DECA Attends Conference in Georgia

Pittsburg HS DECA members recently attended the International Career Development Conference in Atlanta, Georgia along with approximately 22,000 DECA members and sponsors. To qualify for the conference, participants must have competed and qualified at the district and state levels. 

The six Pitt DECA participants included Daisy Portillo competing in Public Relations Project, Marandy Burrow and Julianna Sewell representing Texas DECA as voting delegates, Ali Lankford participating in the Aspire Academy, and Lessly Garza and Ky’Auna Jones participating in the Elevate Academy. Daisy earned a Certificate of Excellence by scoring 70% or better on her competitive event components. 

All six students networked with students and adults from around the globe, learned valuable real world skills, and enjoyed visiting the sights in a new city.
