Maple Heights High School DECA Earns Chapter Honor
The chapter’s advisor and student leaders have demonstrated extraordinary commitment to DECA. DECA’s membership campaign is designed to help chapters grow by making the DECA experience available to more student members, keeping alumni involved and engaging professional members such as administrators, teachers, parents and business partners. DECA’s promotional campaign provides chapter members an opportunity to share with their school and community what DECA is all about and how their chapter is making a positive impact on its members and community. DECA’s ethical leadership challenge educates the local school and community about the importance of ethics through a PSA video, school outreach activities and community outreach activities. In DECA’s community service campaign, chapters held a community service activity, engaged at least 75% of its members, and created at least one form of publicity or promotion. Of the 3,000 DECA chapters, only 450 chapters earned recognition in DECA’s chapter campaigns and only 775 chapters earned recognition in DECA’s membership campaign. The results were announced on decadirect.org. The DECA chapter advisor at Maple Heights High School is Dr. Thomas Griffin.
