More than 200 high school students from 12 local schools gathered in the Century Rooms at the Millennium Student Center on the campus of the University of Missouri–St. Louis on Thursday morning, prepared with carefully researched and written proposals to pitch to a group of judges at the annual District 7 DECA competition.
The students created presentations for 37 different categories. The top two students in each category advanced to the state competition, which will be held in late March.
