Pacific High School DECA has achieved Thrive Level Chapter Campaigns, placing the chapter among just 1,188 nationwide to receive this distinction! 🎉

Thrive Level recognition is awarded to chapters that successfully complete two of the three required DECA Chapter Campaigns, which include the community service campaign, innovations and entrepreneurship campaign, and promotional campaign. PHS DECA was one of only three schools in Missouri to achieve all three campaign levels!

This achievement was made possible through the efforts of PHS DECA members Grant Orris and Gabriella Guenzler, with guidance and support from their advisor, Nancy Pfeiffer. Their work included volunteering throughout the community, supporting local organizations, organizing clean-up efforts, and raising funds for charitable causes! 👏
