Our #PemBizDECA team has had an incredible 2025–2026 season, highlighted by outstanding achievements, strong leadership, and a true commitment to excellence. At this year’s State Career Development Conference (#SCDC26), our students represented Pembroke with pride, professionalism, and determination.

We are proud to celebrate 22 state qualifiers, along with two national qualifiers and two leadership placements—a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team. From a successful first day of testing to recognition for our community and membership campaigns, our students made their mark in every aspect of the conference.

A special milestone this year was celebrating Mrs. Lang’s 10th year as a DECA advisor, whose leadership, passion, and support continue to inspire student success year after year.

We are especially excited to recognize Trevor Falk and Matthew Polvere, who earned an impressive 6th Place Overall in the Hospitality Team Decision Making (HTDM) event, securing their spot at the national competition. Their achievement reflects exceptional teamwork, critical thinking, and presentation skills on a highly competitive stage.

From competition events to Quiz Bowl, our team truly went “All In,” demonstrating that teamwork really does make the dream work. We are so proud of all our DECA members and look forward to cheering on our national qualifiers as they continue their journey on the #RoadToAtlanta2026!
