Gibraltar DECA Competitors Receive International Awards

Gibraltar High School DECA competitors earned international awards at the International DECA Career Development Conference (ICDC) in Anaheim, Calif., on April 25-29. Four Gibraltar seniors advanced to the International level of competition last March by competing at the State Conference in Lake Geneva.

The team of Christopher (Topher) Andersen and Nathan Surges earned an ICDC medal and placed in the top 20 in the world with their Entrepreneurship Innovation Plan. After their initial presentation of their online wholesale business venture proposal, they advanced to the finalist competition. More than 2,000 teams participated in this event world-wide, with approximately 180 competing at the International level last week. Placing in the top 20 is an amazing achievement. Andersen is the son of Bill and Heather Andersen, Ephraim. Surges is the son of Jim and Kathy Surges, Fish Creek.

The Gibraltar DECA Chapter also earned International recognition for their Community Service Campaigns. Amber Kelly and Alexis Schnick were the project managers for the GO BO Foundation Homecoming Fundraiser, Halloween Trick or Can Drive and the Jacksonport Thanksgiving Day Parade & Benefit. Kelly is the daughter of Kevin Kelly, Baileys Harbor, and Amy Kelly, Sturgeon Bay. Schnick is the daughter of David and Janet Schnick, Egg Harbor.
