The "Finals" of the business world have arrived! Yesterday, our Mountain Ridge DECA chapter touched down in Atlanta, Georgia, to represent Sentinel Nation at the 2026 DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC).
This is the premier, culminating event of the year, bringing together the brightest high school members, advisors, and business professionals from across the globe. Tonight, our students will join over 26,000 attendees for a massive opening session at the iconic Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
WHY THIS MATTERS: Our students aren't just attending; they are competing at the highest level in marketing, management, hospitality, and finance. To qualify for ICDC, these students had to prove they were the best of the best at the state level.
Seeing this group of kids in action makes one thing clear: The future is in great hands. Their professionalism, drive, and innovative thinking are truly incredible.
Good luck to our DECA competitors! We know you’ll represent The Ridge with excellence.
