Annie Wright Students Qualify for State Competition in Business

Juniors Emmanuelle Beaurpere and Alana Muhoza qualified for the state championship today in their competition in DECA (an organization for students interested in business) at Stadium High School. Three other Annie Wright students, Juniors Katie Erickson and Safa Safeed, and Senior Leila Bensarghin,  made the top 10 in their first DECA events.

The participants are given a business situation and a position and have to come up with a business idea/plan that suits the situation. They then get ten minutes to prepare without knowing the situation in advance and ten minutes to present to a judge.

“We try to make the situation seem as real as possible,” said Emmanuelle. “We went in, introduced ourselves, shook hands with the judges and made eye contact professionally, then we summarized the situation and presented our business plan."

Congratulations and good luck to the DECA participants!
