On Wednesday February 27, 2013, eighteen members of the THS Honors Marketing program made the trip to the Aqua Turf Club to compete with Connecticut’s best Marketing and DECA students. Over 1200 student representatives from various high schools spent the day testing their aptitude with topics such as business operations, business management, entrepreneurship and business administration. The competition was very arduous.

These competency-based competitive events have been designed, administered, validated, and judged by Connecticut professionals who are involved in the areas of marketing, merchandising, finance, tourism, and management.
