Two NRHS DECA students pose and smile with the first place trophy.

Last week’s DECA International Career Development Conference in Atlanta, GA, was an exciting one! Competing against more than 26,000 students from across the United States and seven countries, our Nashoba DECA students delivered a truly historic performance. For the first time in Nashoba DECA's history, a team received 1st place and the title of International Champion!

Congratulations to Dulcie Chrystall-Dubois and Odile Berzonskis, who earned 1st place for their Hospitality and Tourism Operations Research, bringing home Nashoba’s first-ever Glass trophy.

In addition to the first place win, Nashoba DECA also had multiple students place among the top competitors in the world. Ryan Carr, placed Top 10 for his Community Giving Campaign, and Zain Khan and Malik Shannak placed in the Top 15 for their Independent Business Plan.

In total, Nashoba was represented by 22 outstanding student competitors, all of whom demonstrated professionalism, preparation, and pride in representing NRHSl on an international stage.
