The students joined more than 2,200 other Georgia members of the student marketing association to compete earlier this month at the State Career Development Conference in Atlanta.

Victoria Ergle earned first place in Principles of Finance; Hanna Palmer earned second place in Apparel & Accessories Marketing; and Elaine Ware earned fifth place in Business Growth Plan… qualifying them for DECA’s international competition in Atlanta this April.
