St. Francis High School (SFHS) students Alexis Colling, Jack Humphrey, Carly Knapp and Rieley Schwab attended DECA’s International Career Development Conference (ICDC) April 25-28 in Orlando, Fla, where they joined more than 26,000 high-achieving marketing, finance, hospitality, and management students from around the globe.
Representing the best and brightest in student leadership, the SFHS students earned the opportunity to attend ICDC after excelling at the state-level competition. While at the conference, they participated in competitive events, leadership academies, and networking sessions with industry professionals.
“Our students demonstrated exceptional professionalism, creativity, and strategic thinking,” said Lisa-Marie Schrag, DECA advisor. “Attending ICDC is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that helps prepare them for college and careers in the business world. These students are not only representing our school — they’re representing the future of business.”
