“DECA is a lot of fun and I really learn a lot; I got hooked my first year!”
Liz Eastham
Campbell County High School

“DECA participation looks good on a résumé and it offers a lot of scholarship opportunities.”
Jeremy Gross
Campbell County High School

“Honestly, our students join to go on trips and meet new people. Some tell me, “My friends say DECA is cool.” I also mention to them that some local businesses will hire DECA students above other students and sometimes pay them more than other students – that’s an incentive!”
Mary Hopper
Kelly Walsh Chapter Advisor

“DECA not only prepares you for a career in business, but it also offers a lot of travel opportunities – Salt Lake City, Orlando & Nashville – what other high school program can do that?”
Allen Hankins
Campbell County High School

The DECA Creed


I believe in the future which I am planning for myself in the field of Marketing and Management and in the opportunities which my vocation offers.

I believe in fulfilling the highest measure of service to my vocation, my fellow beings, my country, and my God – that by so doing, I will be rewarded with personal satisfaction and material wealth.

I believe in the democratic philosophies of private enterprise and competition, and in the freedoms of this nation – that these philosophies allow for the fullest development of my individual abilities.

I believe that by doing my best to live according to these high principles, I will be of greater service both to myself and mankind.
