The Feb. 6 DECA regional competition in Coeur d’Alene resulted in 19 LHS students placing third or above.
  From Lewiston, 94 students attended the regional event.
  “It [the competition] was awesome but a little disappointing because it was rescheduled and we lost some kids due to that,” said adviser John Potter.
  Coordinators rescheduled the event from Jan. 9 due to hazardous weather conditions.   
   Seniors Kallie Erickson and Hailey Ward placed first in Marketing Management.
  “DECA has provided me with the opportunities to travel and meet people from other places… as well as learn business and communication skills,” Erickson said.
  Erickson hopes those skills will help her in the career world, she added.
  State competition for DECA takes place March 9-11 in Boise and around 100 students will compete from Lewiston. DECA nationals takes place in Anaheim, California, in April.
