CVHS Business Club Aims for Future Success

Castro Valley High School DECA team

Castro Valley High School’s Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) chapter recently competed at the NorCal Career Development Conference (CDC), which was held from January 17 to 19. The club focuses on preparing future business leaders for marketing, finance, hospitality, and entrepreneurship careers through competitions and real-world business scenarios. 

Fifty-six students spent their weekend in San Ramon to compete at the conference, with 27 of them placing as overall finalists and 7 of them winning the coveted awards in their respective events. The chapter reached new heights during the Northern California event and marks an extreme improvement in results compared to previous years. CVHS competed against many schools throughout the region.  

“The success at NorCal CDC highlights Castro Valley DECA’s commitment to developing future business leaders through rigorous preparation, teamwork, and innovation,” says DECA member Ian Hsu. “The chapter’s achievements reflect the dedication of its members, advisors, and supporters who continue to foster excellence in competitive business education.” 

With this momentum, the team now sets its sights on the upcoming California State Career Development Conference this weekend (February 27-March 2), aiming to further its success and qualify for the International Career Development Conference.
