Welcome - Caledonia High School has an active DECA Organization. We have competed at State and National Conferences for many years. Throughout the year we work together on our business and marketing skills. In addition, we raise money for charities such as MDA and are active in community services. Many of the DECA alumni have earned college scholarships as a result of their work in our chapter.

If you would like to join DECA, please Mr. Keron for details. Everyone is welcome!
