Supports Students

In order to sufficiently fund the amazing real-world opportunities our students are provided through DECA, a goal to raise $700,000 was established. The fund will serve as a sustainable source of funding, allowing our AAHS DECA chapter to grow and thrive in the long-term. The DECA Advisory Board will provide financial guidance to the AAHS DECA student organization.
