High School Division

DECA chapters operate in over 4,500 high schools across the U.S., Puerto Rico, Guam and territories,
Mexico, Germany and Canada. With over 180,000 members (mostly juniors and seniors), DECA’s high school
division is recognized and endorsed by all 50 state departments of education and the U.S. Department of
Education.
Membership in the high school division is restricted to students with a career interest in hospitality,
finance, sales and service, business administration and/or entrepreneurship. DECA programs are co-
curricular, meaning programs complement nationally recognized curriculum standards in the classroom and
then go further to incorporate realistic, educational experiences not available through classroom instruction
alone.
DECA provides specific programs for the classroom teacher to use in student development and
achievement. These programs can be organized into four (4) categories; Leadership Development,
Community Service, Skill Assessment and Academic Skill Development.
