On the weekend of February 27-28,  West Ashley High School sent 22 Wildcats and their adviser Mr. Terry Stutts to the 72nd Annual South Carolina DECA Career Development Conference.

Students competed in role play events in categories based on marketing, finance, hospitality and management. Their weekend at the conference also consisted of an opening session, a leadership academy, an election session for state officers and an awards banquet.

The Wildcats had a very strong showing with 18 of our competitors placing in the top ten of their respective categories including one first place, two third places and a fourth place.

Mr. Stutts and his WAHS DECA team are now looking forward to competing in the International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Florida on April 24-28.
