About TJ DECA
DECA membership at Thomas Jefferson High School is open to sophmores, juniors, and seniors enrolled in a marketing class at TJ. Students enrolled in the Marketing 1-2, Algebraic Principles of Marketing, and the School Store classes are required to be DECA members since DECA is a co-curricular student organization. Students in DECA have the unique opportunity to gain business experience through working the school store and the SOT’s (snacks on tracks). The 2011-2012 DECA Chapter is 70 members strong, and is ready for success. The goal of TJ DECA is, “to be the standard by which others are measured.”
