Forty-three Senior High School students competed in the annual DECA Regional Competition at Suffolk Community College on Jan. 6.
Four students — Natalie Mandich (Buying & Merchandising Team Event); Cynthia Vargas (Buying & Merchandising Team Event); Nitin Pun (Principles of Hospitality & Tourism); and Emily O’Hallaron (Principles of Hospitality & Tourism) — qualified for the State competition, as they placed in the top 10 in their respective events.
“All of the students who competed in the competition did an outstanding job and we are proud of all of them,” said Colleen Kilgus, a business teacher at the Senior High School.
