MA Students Excel at 2022 DECA State Conference

Congratulations to our DECA team on an outstanding three-day DECA state conference.

Thirty-six Moravian Academy students were among approximately 2,000 competitors from schools across Pennsylvania at the DECA conference.

Every student came and conquered! They showed poise, professionalism, and their behavior represented Moravian exceptionally.  We are so very proud of the entire team. 

Below is the breakdown of our top award winners. Individuals or teams placing top 4 or higher will have the opportunity to participate in the DECA International Career Development Conference in Atlanta, GA, (April 23-26). More info on that is forthcoming.

A huge shout out to all our first time DECA participants in their role plays. The competition in these events is insane, so they should be proud of the high marks on their role plays.

Special thanks go to Mr. Axford and Ms. LeHeup for chaperoning and assisting the team on all three days of the trip.
