Chapter Spotlight by VP Chad

​Hey Florida DECA! This month I did a chapter spotlight on Steinbrenner High School. They are located in Tampa, Florida and they are a part of District 6 DECA. They are a sports marketing chapter and they do some really great activities with a sports focus. I will highlight a few of my favorite activities. At the beginning of the school year they host a DECA signing day which mimics a sports star signing to a sports team. They even set out hats that say “Role Play” and “Written Event”. Members make their choice and sign to a category. They have a program where their students get to work for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They host a camp at their local elementary school called MAAC. They put on a DECA Dodgeball tournament in their school. They did community service with Blue Jays outfielder, Jose Bautista. And finally, they put on a mock sports press conference. I got the chance to visit Steinbrenner and I was happy to see that competition is a big focus for them. They have competed at the District, State, and International Level and their members are ready to take home the glass from Atlanta. They have a very active Twitter page and they post great pictures from their events so I would encourage you to give them a follow - @gshsDECA. Thank you Steinbrenner DECA!
