W.T. Clarke High School’s DECA (Distributive Education Clubs of America) chapter in East Meadow competed at this year's DECA States competition in Rochester, held from March 6-8.
As a result, Clarke will send six underclassmen to Anaheim, California, on April 27 to compete at DECA’s 74th annual International Career Development Conference as they placed in the top three in numerous categories. Clarke’s DECA chapter, led by adviser Joseph Pavia, also had an additional 25 top 10 overall placements. More than 18,000 high school students, teacher advisers, business professionals and alumni gathered for several days of DECA excitement.
The district wishes Clarke’s DECA chapter the best of luck at this year’s national conference.
