HHS Business Club Students Advance to State Competition

Harrison High School DECA Business Club students performed at a high level at the Regional DECA competition with 20 students receiving awards and advancing to the New York State competition in March; 91% of Harrison students who completed the regional exam advanced to state competition. Students were presented with their medals at a ceremony held in the Performing Arts Center at Harrison High School.

At the regional level, students take a multiple choice test to demonstrate their business knowledge in the areas of marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, and business administration. At the state competition, many divisions also include a live action role-play or presentation. Last year’s competition was virtual, but the team hopes the state competition will be in person this year.
