You are probably here because someone has talked to you about DECA, and you are wondering if your child should join. 

​

Here are some of the many benefits of DECA:

​

1. DECA promotes leadership skills: Not only will your child learn extemporaneous speaking at the competitions, but he/she will have the opportunity to serve in the Woodson DECA leadership team. 

​

2. DECA establishes work ethic: preparing for the competitions takes hard work and grit. Your child will develop better time management skills, and how to structure his/her studying. Unlike regular school subjects, DECA entails a lot of self-preparation and inner motivation. 

​

3. College! Colleges love to see students who have taken the initiative to explore their interests in high school. Furthermore, the opportunity to show off an award from a state-level or international-level competition is remarkable.
