OUR HISTORY
DECA has become an important part of Glenforest in the past few years. Starting off with a tiny group of only twelve students, GFSS DECA has expanded each year. In fact, Glenforest received the DECA award for the highest percentage increase in members in 2006-2007. GFSS DECA continues to welcome more members and expand itself every year.
