MD’s RECORD-BREAKING SUCCESS AT 2020 DECA PROVINCIALS
From Thursday, February 6, to Saturday, February 8, thousands of students competed at the DECA (Demonstrating Excellence Celebrating Achievement) Provincial Competition in Toronto. Over 50 students from Milton District High School participated in this important event under the direction of @deca.mdhs Advisor Mr. Paul Riggs and many brought home a reward for their hard work.
DECA is an international business club where students participate in oral case study presentations, business simulations, and written business reports.
Students start out at Regionals competing against other students from across their school board. Students who are successful at the Regional Competition then move on to compete at the Provincial Competition in February. Winners at Provincials move on to compete against the best in the world at Internationals, held this year in Nashville, Tennessee in April.
With over 40 categories in both written and oral events—and over 7000 students from all across Ontario—our Milton Mustangs had some tough competition.
With extreme dedication and long hours, many of the hardworking students at MD pulled all-nighters for a chance at Internationals. Special congratulations are given to those who earned medals at Provincials for their case study presentations and exams: Norhan Ahmadoun (Grade 9), Nora Draper (Grade 12), Rashmi Avudaiappan (Grade 12), Krithi Gowrishankar (Grade 12), Jasiya Janjua (Grade 12) and Saihaj Rehsi (Grade 12).
Milton District is sending an unprecedented TEN Provincial champions to Internationals this April in Nashville. Those ten members are Saad Fasihi, Zian Raheem, Ahmed Abdulrahman, Zayd Tahir, Riya Anadkat, Vignesh Marla, Jackson Shi, Areej Amjad, Maheerah Raja, and Jasiya Janjua.
The team would like to give a special thanks to Mr. Riggs, and the Chapter’s President, Tushar Atmakuru. Without their constant help, the team wouldn’t have been able to successfully run Milton District’s seventh year of DECA, and fourth year sending students to Internationals...
