Students from Evanston Township High School competed in this year’s virtual Illinois DECA Career Development Conference, which hosted more than 1,500 high school students. Out of the 32 ETHS team members, 23 earned Top 10 medals, 17 placed among the top three for their respective competitive events and earned a bid to compete at the virtual International DECA International Career Development Conference in April.
Two ETHS students, Makenna Hirsch-Arnett and Tamara Guy, earned individual Illinois Foundation for Marketing Education (IFME) Scholarships.
