Successful DECA
Last Saturday, The York School sent 27 Senior School students to the DECA regional competition hosted by Toronto Metropolitan University. Congratulations to all of our Senior School students who participated and to the 17 students who have qualified to attend the DECA Provincial finals in Toronto in February 2024. The school has a long tradition of sending students to these competitions that face students with real-life business cases and market conditions, but this is definitely one of the biggest groups we have ever sent.
