TAYLOR HIGH SCHOOL marketing student attend regional conference


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.
