7 students from Wilmot competed in various business academic events at the 2016 DECA International Career and Development Conference held in Nashville.
Kayla Nelson
Michael Trocke
Brett Muzzy
Roren Finney
Brendan Buhler
Brad Eidson
Lauren Christensen
Over 17,500 DECA members traveled to Nashville in hopes of achieving international academic honors.
Kayla Nelson earned top 20 finalist honors in the
School Based Enterprise Retail Operations event.
With the help of Cheryl Kothe and numerous other Wisconsin DECA members,
Brendan Buhler ran a very competitive national campaign for an executive office position of DECA Central Region VP, but fell just a few votes shy of receiving this prestigious position. Regardless, Brendan ends his high school DECA career having earned many awards and 1st place District and State honors during the 4 years he's been a member. Brendan also earned a $1,000 scholarship from NAPA and $1,000 scholarship from Wisconsin DECA.
A special thank you to teachers, administrators, and the Wilmot Board of Education for their support of DECA at Wilmot Union High School!
