DECA STUDENTS
IN ACTION
Distributive Education Is a program of Instruction which teaches marketing, merchan-
dising and management. The Distributive Education Clubs of America, DECA, is a pro-
gram of youth activities which supplements Distributive Education. DECA's goals are:
(1) to develop a respect for education which will contribute to vocational competence, and
(2) to promote understanding and appreciation for the responsibilities of citizenship in
our free, competitive enterprise system.
In the classroom as DE students, we learn many of the fundamentals of marketing and
distribution, such as sales promotion, display, salesmanship, employee-employer rela-
tions, advertising, etc. In addition to this classroom Instruction, a DE student may be
placed in a retail, wholesale or service firm under a supervised training program. The
training program, worked out by the employer and the DE teacher-coordinator affords
the student an opportunity to put Into practice many of the fundamentals learned In the
classroom and to develop additional skills in each of these areas.
Through research projects and recognition events, the activities of the local DECA
Chapter bring into sharper focus the various instructional parts of the DE program
taught in our local high school.
This approach to education not only develops competent personnel for merchandising,
marketing, and management, but also prepares our youth for better citizenship.
Students eligible to enroll in this program should be at least sixteen (16) years of age,
and of junior or senior classification.
