Upper School DECA members swept the District 7 Competition, taking home six awards. The event, which traditionally lasts one day, was held virtually from November 31 to December 4, 2020. 

The first part of the competition included a timed online exam that focused on marketing, entrepreneurship, business, administration, and finance. In lieu of the traditional live role-play judged by local business owners, the second half of the competition asked participants to download a discussion topic and respond with a recorded video within one hour to be scored by the judges. 

Despite the unusual circumstances, Upper School students excelled. Awardees include: 

• Jai Ailawadi '22 - Automotive Services Marketing - 1st place 
  
  
• Camille Atkinson '23 & Yan Yu '23 - Entrepreneurship Team Decision Making - 2nd Place 
  
  
• Benjamin Borsuk '21 & Nik Surya '21 - Sports and Entertainment Marketing Team Decision Making - 2nd Place 
  
  
• Aman Desai '24 - Principles of Finance - 1st Place 
  
  
• Vince Menichelli '22 & Samit Mohapatra '22 - Financial Services Team Decision Making - 1st Place 
  
  
• Sierra Smith '23 - Principles of Business Management and Administration - 1st Place
