IH DECA:
Eleven Indian Hill High School students enrolled in the Marketing courses at Indian Hill competed in
Atlanta, GA April 23-26 at the DECA International Career Development Conference. The students
earned their way through district and state level competition to compete with nearly 20,000 students
from 11 countries. The students compete in a variety of business competitions which include case
studies, testing, written research papers and presentations.
Indian Hill was well represented by Lexi Magenheim, Graham Wyler, and Emily Singer with a research
paper and presentation for their Community Service Project, KidsFed. Radu Dragomirescu and Cooper
Pierce presented an International Business Research proposal. Brian Lewis and Sam Smith competed in
Business law & Ethics case studies. Dan Josche and Johnny Giroux competed in an Entrepreneurship
team event. Indian Hill’s first Freshman to ever compete at this level, Lauren Sewell presented a
Marketing Principles event. The highlight for Indian Hill came from Gabrielle Salvado. Gabrielle
created an Advertising Campaign for a local small business and finished in the Top 10 for her event.
The educational experience of putting into practice what the students learn in the classroom and
realizing the magnitude of the experience they will encounter beyond high school is very rewarding and
an opportunity they will remember for a life time.
The marketing courses at Indian Hill High school are in partnership with Great Oaks CDC and
instructed by Mrs. Susan Schonauer and Mr. Philip Said. The students and instructors are very grateful
for the support of the administration form both Indian Hill and Great Oaks to afford this opportunity to
our students.
