Students learn business management and networking skills
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – It’s been a busy year for DECA club advisor Bekka Tucker and the DECA student members at Caldera High School.
DECA stands for Distributive Education Clubs of America.
Tucker has been a part of DECA for four years, arriving to start the program at Caldera this year after working at Bend High School.
“It’s been a lot of work, because I’m used to having years of these kids turn over and become seniors,” she said recently. “They do such a great job. This year, I’m doing that work.”
Caldera is Bend-La Pine’s newest high school, and it welcomed its first group of ninth- and 10th-graders last September.
A handful of those students said they joined DECA to enrich their high school experience at the new school.
Nationwide, DECA has more than 173,000 members across 3,200 high schools.
