Crescent Business Team Shines At DECA
Upper School students on Crescent’s Business Team shone brighter than ever at the DECA Provincial Competition held in Toronto from February 7 to 9, 2019.
Competing against over 7,500 students from across Ontario, the 44 Crescent team members demonstrated their knowledge of authentic business cases and the ability to clearly communicate their thoughts in high-pressure situations.
