Our 76 DECA State students returned last night, mostly healthy (there was a stomach bug making its way around).
This awesome group of students included 22 finalists and 14 national qualifiers! The conference had over 3,900 competitors, and making finals and placing is a huge accomplishment.
Please help me in congratulating the following students who qualified for Nationals in April!
| Event | Name | Place |
| Business Law and Ethics | Helen Rinehart & Charlotte Wond | 4 |
| Business Services Marketing | Andrew Weinberger | 2 |
| Business Solutions | Attia Abdelgawad & Winslow Morgan-Fairburn | 5 |
| Community Giving Project | Declan Moody, Joseph Palmer, Andrew Weinberger | 2 |
| Franchise Business Plan | Andi Groudan & Belle Nordman | 4 |
| Future Marketing Educator | Lily Benjamin | 3 |
| Future Marketing Educator | Andrew Weinberger | 2 |
| Restaurant Management | Ryan Freeman | 3 |
| Sales Project | Tessa Mullen, Sophie Wood | 4 |
| School-Based Enterprise | Gabby McKinley & Andrew Weinberger | Gold Certification |
Andrew became the first person in Rocky history and very likely Colorado DECA history to qualify in 4 events (A rule change 4 years ago allowed students to compete in more events if they qualified). Andrew was also elected as a State Officer for next year!
