SFHS DECA competes at State

(Editor’s Note: The following was submitted by South Fulton High School student Jake Clapper)

On March 7-9, a group of South Fulton High School students traveled to Chattanooga, Tenn. to compete in the DECA State Career Development Conference.

These students qualified to attend by winning at the regional level in Jackson, Tenn. in January.

This group of students joined thousands of the top students from across the state to compete in various events from writing a Start-Up Business Plan to Buying and Merchandising Team Event.

While at the conference, South Fulton High School was awarded the Elevate Chapter award for our level of chapter members for the 2018-2019 school year.

The students worked really hard to make it to state while competing in their event and through their fundraising efforts.

Our students would like to thank all of the business partners, community members, and the Obion County Board of Education for supporting us in our pursuits.
