New Hampshire DECA held its statewide competition February 8-10, with 360 competitors from 15 schools in attendance. Pinkerton DECA had 33 students attend, earning a total of 36 medals, with 18 students earning 1st or 2nd place overall in their event(s), qualifying them for the DECA's International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Florida. Pinkerton will be bringing 24 students to this conference in April! 

Pinkerton DECA was one of four New Hampshire schools to earn Gold Re-Certification for our school store, Campus Corner, through a rigorous certification process which consisted of a 20-page paper written by this year's store managers, Ridge Crossman and Jack McGarrahan. In addition, Pinkerton DECA was one of five New Hampshire schools to earn the highest level of recognition for community service and promotional campaigns, through a chapter campaign called Thrive. 

Finally, Pinkerton DECA members were recognized for the following:

• Delaney Petri was elected as a State Executive Board Officer for the 2023-2024 school year.
