Thank you for showing Royal Pride

Deca

Three students from Rogers High School achieved an outstanding accomplishment at the International Career Development Conference, earning a 1st place glass trophy in Orlando, Florida. Alexis Derichs, Allison Mauss, and Parker Moen were recognized for their exceptional work on their Career Development “Job Olympics” Project. Representing Rogers DECA with pride, the trio demonstrated strong collaboration, innovation, and professionalism. Their project stood out among thousands of entries from across the globe, earning them top honors and bringing national recognition to our school and community.

The Job Olympics themed project included a written 20 page paper and 15 minute presentation. They met with 5th grade classes in ISD 728 starting in September to teach job related skills through career investigative lessons.
