Porter County Career and Technical Center’s Marketing students had one of the most successful years in their State DECA Competition. Below is a list of those who won and will be competing at the International DECA Conference in Salt Lake City in April.
We appreciate all your support, and encouragement. If you know these students please congratulate them for their hard work. In most cases they had approximately 45 people they competed against. If you would like to help financially, we will be holding a Port-a-pit chicken sale on Saturday, April 14, at the K-Mart parking lot in Valparaiso, selling Fannie May candy bars, and selling Otis Spunkmeyer cookies. Just let us know if you are hungry for any of these food options.
