Students with an interest in marketing, management, and entrepreneurship are wanted to enhance their co-curricular education. DECA students have the opportunity to compete at the district, state and national level based on the area of their interest. FUN is the name of the game for fundraising for travel & competitions. Creativity & hard work can earn students' trips to Orlando or Anaheim as well as other locations across the country! Students must be enrolled in a specific course of study through the Business Management & Finance Academy. |

All students in LHS DECA are members of the Business Management & Finance Academy at LHS and pursue study at both the college or honors academic levels. The Business Management & Finance Academy was established for students interested in majoring in Business Administration in college, or entering the workforce in the areas of management, finance, accounting, or marketing. By enrolling in the Business Management & Finance Academy, students are eligible to join Business Professionals of America (BPA) and/or DECA. These co-curricular student organizations provide students with the opportunity for educational and leadership development, personal and professional growth, and career related competencies. More importantly, the Business Department has established a partnership with Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. This partnership allows students in the Business Management & Finance Academy to work in the Lowell High School branch of the Jeanne D’Arc Credit Union. In this branch, students learn the day-to-day operations of the banking industry while earning high school credit and real world experiences by while serving the entire school community. Academy students prepare for the Credit Union course by enrolling in the Money & Banking course their junior year. |
