“Students from the United States, Canada, China, Japan, Germany, Spain and Costa Rica come together each year to compete in over sixty business categories. Very few walk away with a trophy,” faculty advisor Sallykaye Kaufman said. “Shayla worked hard all year developing her winning presentation and practiced between class periods, after school and on weekends, which is what it takes to win at DECA’s ICDC!”
