ABOUT US
Taunton DECA History
DECA, standing for Distributive Educational Clubs of America, officially began in 1946 with its recognition as a national organization by the United States Office of Education. As of now, DECA is made of over 258,000 devoted members, spanning 3,956 chapters across the globe.
Taunton DECA has a long history, gaining a reputation for its large chapter size and frequent large number of qualifiers for both SCDC and ICDC. Our chapter has also contributed over $20,000 to The Muscle Dystrophy Association throughout the years, with our most notable means of funding being Miles for MDA and our "Shamrock Sale."
​
Now, our team members continue to work hard to ensure bountiful success for our present and future competitors. Within the 2024 - 2025 school year, our leadership team has organized several events such as Miles for MDA, a community-wide fundraiser around the Taunton High track; an induction ceremony to elevate the feeling of being an official DECA member; unofficial competitions for Taunton Middle Schools; and so much more! Moreover, our chapter provides annual city recognition for senior members and scholarships awarded to dedicated members seeking a business career.
