Welcome to our Marketing Education Program website.
Marketing Education is a two year Vocational program at Taunton High School.
DECA - An Association of Marketing Students, is a "co-curricular" part of the Marketing Program.
Congress and the Mass. Dept. of Education recognize Vocational Student Organizations such as DECA, SkillsUSA, FFA, and
others a vital part of Vocational Programs.
Students learn Marketing Theory in the classroom and can apply that theory in SCHOOL BASED ENTERPRISES within the
classroom as their "Shop Experience". SBE's are real business activities designed and run by the students.
Students who manage these SBE's can then write a Technical Report using National DECA guidelines and enter that report
in DECA competition. Our students have competed every year at the District and State Level, and have competed at the
DECA International Competition many times.
For more information about DECA Competition please go to www.DECA.org.
We thank the people who serve on our Marketing
Education BUSINESS ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
They meet twice a year and review how well our program is doing. They give us ideas
and business contacts, and several of them JUDGE at DECA District and State Conference.
We recently honored DIANA SHEARSTONE who just retired
as the CEO of the Taunton Area Chamber of Commerce.
Diana has attended our BAC meetings for many years and has often sent us ideas and notes from things she sees in her
travels. When talking to business leaders, Diana would often refer them to us either to hire students or to support
our program.
For her years of service, Mr. Medeiros recently awarded
Diana Shearstone with a Special Award from National DECA.
Look for our new Business Links Page as we find ways to thank those who assist our students!
