Mansfield
High School Business Club Scores Big at DECA District
Conference
2010 district
team
On
Friday January 29, 2010, six Mansfield High School
students attended the DECA district conference at the
Holiday Inn in Mansfield. Close to 500 students from
surrounding schools (King Philip, Franklin, Stoughton,
Brockton, Southeastern, Dighton Rehoboth, Taunton,
Somerset and Easton) attended the conference.
Mansfield, the smallest team at the conference, had
two out of the three teams win medals.
Schools
attending the conference can compete in a variety of
events such as individual events, team events and
written events. In both the individual and team
events, students have to complete a 100 question test,
and then they have to analyze a case study and present
their information about the case study to a judge.
Written events range from 11 pages to 30 pages in
length, the written projects are judged by Johnston
and Wales’s faculty and students and then the
students have to present their project to a judge
during the conference.
Josh
Marohn and Amanda Eardley both juniors, competed in
the Buying and Merchandising team event. There were
close to 20 teams competing in this event. The team of
Marohn and Eardley were awarded a third place medal at
the conference. The team of Chris Nugent and Shane
Roy, both sophomores competed in the Business Law and
Ethics team event. This team was awarded a 1st place
medal for their outstanding performance. The team of
Lei Meli and Mikaela O’Brien competed in the
Hospitality event and did an outstanding job in a very
competitive event.
The
team's that placed in the conference are qualified to
attend the state conference in March.

On
November 14, 2009, two teams of four students went to
Bryant University in Smithfield, RI for
the day to compete in the Bull Dog Challenge.
This
business event, hosted by Bryant University, gives
students interested in business the opportunity to
compete against other high schools. There were
10 high school teams from MA, RI and CT. The event
started at 8:30 am with a briefing from one of
the professors at Bryant. Teams were then taken into
rooms where they were presented with the Harvard
Review case study. Students and their Bryant
University student adviser (the adviser and Mrs.
Foley were only there to facilitate) worked through a
grueling analysis of the case for 4 hours.
During this time, students had to develop a strategy
and a PowerPoint of their strategic recommendation
of what the company should do. Students then had to
present their recommendations to Bryant
Professors and alumni.
One
of our teams won the event. This team consisted of 4
juniors from Mansfield High School; Josh
Marohn, Amanda Eardley, Megan Cavanaugh and James
Parsons. This was an amazing experience.
Students
had the opportunity to visit the campus, meet
professors, work with Bryant University students
and faculty. It was an outstanding event for all
students who participated.
