DECA – Preparing emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management. Our vision is to prepare innovative leaders and entrepreneurs who make a positive social and global impact. With a 75-year history, DECA has impacted the lives of more than ten million students, educators, school administrators and business professionals since it was founded in 1946.

Brewster High School’s DECA Chapter is still in our first year! We hope to add to both our membership and the success in academic competition in the years to come. Any Brewster student is invited to join our club. Marketing students, however, get extra experience learning about business concepts, marketing terms, and professional skills. If you want to join us exploring the exciting world of business, think about signing up for the marketing class next semester.
