Recently
the Taylor High School marketing and DECA students attended the “Central Region
Leadership Conference” in Detroit.
The
students had three days full of career focused workshops, professional
development workshops, leadership workshops, practice exams, practice
role-plays, marketing and career connection expo, chartered association
meetings, and listened to guest speakers from Quicken Loans and best selling
author and entrepreneur Phil M. Jones.
THS
had four of our very own students as presenters for one of the workshops.
Karizma Melendez and Sylvester Grant presented on the annual DECA fashion show
and Mohammad Monet and Vheena Villareal presented on the print company focusing
on our successful sale of “Griffin Heads” for the powder puff game.
They
received raving reviews and did a phenomenal job presenting. They also
presented to the National DECA advisory board about the school’s marketing
program.
Two
students, Sana Abedi and Adria Nyarko, represented Taylor High School and the State
of Michigan by winning medals for top role-play score and top exam score out of
the 13 states in the region for the mock competition.
Josh
Myles won a five-pound chocolate bar from the World's Finest Chocolate
fundraising company and the school’s advisor, Carly Lundgren-Barnard, along
with the advisors from Jenison HIgh School, won the downtown scavenger
hunt.
The 14
Taylor students that attended this conference will be bringing back so many
amazing ideas and advice for the school’s marketing students to flourish at
district and state competition as well as in our school and community.
“I
am so proud of their professional behavior and how well they did,” said
Lundgren-Barnard.
