Millard West DECA outside the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in their trip to Atlanta for the DECA International Competition.

Along with giving students just general life skills that are going to make them competitive in any career,” DECA sponsor Ashley Dworak said. “Really, a lot of the competitions and things we do are centered around business content, but all of the skills in which they’re learning and improving on is really gaining practice for them.”
