Cubs Corner, the school-based enterprise at Mountain Ridge High School, was among 461 such enterprises achieving Gold Level for the 2022-23 school year.
The Glendale campus program will be recognized during DECA’s International Career Development Conference in Orlando, Florida, April 22-25.
DECA prepares emerging leaders and entrepreneurs for careers in marketing, finance, hospitality and management in high schools and colleges around the globe.
A school-based enterprise is an entrepreneurial operation in a school setting that provides goods and services to meet the needs of the market. SBEs are managed and operated by students as hands-on learning laboratories that integrate National Curriculum Standards in marketing, finance, hospitality and management.
The Mountain Ridge DECA members who contributed to the certification were Sarah Spangler, Krethik Sathishkumar and Sai Ananya Gandikota, with the assistance of their DECA chapter advisers Debbie Moore and Jeffrey Samaniego. The store has assistance and input from Mindy KovanSheahan and Shawna Kessler.
The SBE at Mountain Ridge High has operated for 26 years.
“DECA’s School-based Enterprise Certification Program is a rigorous process designed to help DECA members demonstrate their classroom learning in a practical, learning laboratory, and then translate that into meaningful outcomes,” Christopher Young, DECA Inc. chief program officer, shared in a statement. “These DECA members are practicing important workplace readiness skills while preparing for college and careers.”
Mountain Ridge High School is at 22800 N. 67th Ave.
