With 63 students competing across a wide range of events—including role plays, startup business plans, innovation plans, marketing series events, and chapter campaigns—our students represented Moravian Academy with professionalism, creativity, and excellence.
Over the course of three immersive days, students joined more than 4,000 DECA members from across Pennsylvania for high-level competition, active networking, leadership development, and unforgettable chapter bonding. From early-morning testing sessions to high-energy finals and award ceremonies, our students demonstrated resilience, collaboration, and true entrepreneurial spirit.
