On Tuesday, December 16, ten students from Hilton High School’s newly established DECA chapter competed in the DECA NYS Region #10 High School Competition, hosted by the Rochester Institute of Technology. In this fast-paced event, students participated in role-play scenarios in which they presented business strategies to local business leaders who served as judges.
Hilton’s Ryleigh Lent stood out among the competitors for her performance in the Quick Service Restaurant Management series, earning a spot at the New York State Career Conference to be held in March 2026.
DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality, and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.
