Membership in the high school division is restricted to students with a career interest in hospitality, finance, sales and service, business administration and/or entrepreneurship.

Apex DECA

Apex High School is home to the "DECA Dynasty." Why the dynasty? For the past several years, although taking smaller amounts of people to competitions, Apex gets on stage A LOT more than the average school. This is of course due to the guidance and dilligence of our two chapter advisors, Mr. Murphy, Mr. Evans, and Mr. Austin. With their help, Apex DECA has turned the 2007-2008 school year into one of the most rewarding competitive years to date!
