DECA NEWS
On January 5th, 2018 forty-eight (48) members of the Cedarcrest DECA chapter headed to Bellevue to take part in the Area 3 Career Development Conference at the Meydenbauer Center. Cedarcrest competed against other DECA members from Bothell, Eastlake, Eastside Catholic, Inglemoor, Juanita, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, North Creek, Overlake, Redmond, and Woodinville high schools. Over 1100 competitors were in attendance participating in a series of role plays across thirty-one (31) different events.
Cedarcrest DECA had very successful results in this event. We will be taking twenty seven (27) students to state and we had multiple Area winners; our largest contingent ever. The state competition will be in Bellevue from March 1-3, 2018. There will be over 3800 members from across the state at this event. Those 3800 competitors had to also qualify in their regional competitions amongst the 12,000 DECA members statewide.
