Forty one students from Badger High School competed at the DECA Wisconsin Career Development Conference from March 5-7th. DECA members traveled to Grand Geneva Resort to compete in 28 occupational series events as well as prepared written project presentations. Over 1400 students from Wisconsin participated in this conference. Twenty three of our members were recognized on stage by earning medals in either their 100 question cluster test, one of the two role-play events in their event category, or a top ten finalist medal. Our chapter members captured 44 individual medals. Sixteen members earned a champion medal for placing first through tenth place in their event.
