Sept. 18, DECA boards members went to Branson, MO, for a leadership retreat. The retreat welcomed over 15 different Missouri high school DECA programs, to come together to evolve their ideas for the school year ahead of them. During the three days, they went through multiple team building activities, and discovered new ways to lead their DECA chapter.

“It was a great experience to help grow in leadership outside of school,” senior Alyssa Kohrs said. “I believe it helped me become a better leader for this coming school year.”

During their break periods, they were able to explore the attractions Branson has to offer: Silver Dollar City, The Landing, Hollywood Wax Museum, and The Dixie Stampede.
