Students come up big in several categories
Clinton High School DECA members, along with advisor Venetia Mann, attended the DECA Regional Competition at Mount Olive University earlier this week. Students had to take a 100 question test and perform one role play with a judge.
DECA, formerly Distributive Education Clubs of America, is a program for high school students that provides hands-on learning and experience in business, marketing and entrepreneurship.
