Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School’s DECA chapter celebrates significant accomplishments following the 2025 DECA International Career Development Conference (ICDC), held April 25–30 in Orlando, Florida.

This year, 54 MSD students competed in events focused on marketing, finance, entrepreneurship, hospitality, and tourism, with two teams placing in the Top 10 internationally.

Elle Naqvi, Miles Sacks, and Brian Listopad earned a Top 10 spot for their Chapter Project Fun4Funds in the Project Management Sales Project category. Another team, Alexander Freedman, Manpreet Chhabra, and Shruthika Bandiathmakur, also placed in the Top 10 for their Chapter Project Vision to Venture in the Project Management Career Development category.

According to the chapter, their success at ICDC is part of a strong year of accomplishments:

Two teams placed in the Top 10 internationally at ICDC 2025
54 competitors represented MSD at ICDC
Nearly 200 students competed at the Florida DECA Career Development Conference
About 80 MSD students qualified for ICDC
MSD DECA is the 7th largest chapter globally and the 3rd largest in Florida
All five Chapter Projects—We Remember, Vision to Venture, Fun4Funds, Paws for a Cause, and Soar Together—qualified for ICDC
The chapter earned 1st place at the state-level HTM Competition

“These achievements reflect how much hard work and dedication our DECA students put in, but also reflect our DECA chapter as a whole,” said chapter representative Allison Ofstein.
