DECA / FBLA
Why DECA/FBLA?
Business isn’t just for business majors.
�Surprisingly, many of the successful students in business competitions don’t plan on majoring in business. They’re heading into engineering, law, or even medicine.
DECA and FBLA require thinking fast, speaking clearly, solving real-world problems, and learning to lead–all while under pressure.
From roleplays to case studies, students gain hands-on experience that extends far beyond the classroom. These events develop critical thinking and teamwork– key skills that top schools and careers look for.

Why Pantheon DECA/FBLA?
A business club advisor can help with logistics, but real competitive success in DECA and FBLA comes from talented coaches who experienced success. Pantheon coaches are national-level finalists and champions who understand the events, the rubrics, and what actually works in competition.
Top chapters have access to school-day prep time, full-time coaches, and deep alumni networks. Pantheon helps level the playing field by giving students from all backgrounds access to professional-quality coaching, just like what the top teams already have.
Pantheon students have qualified for Nationals in nearly every competitive series and across multiple states. With support ranging from event selection to practice interviews to project development, Pantheon has helped students win awards, scholarships, and leadership roles at the highest levels.

Two Possibilities of DECA Clubs without professional coaches:
Teacher Run:
Your school’s economics teacher allocates extra hours a week outside of school towards managing the club.
They manage the funds, teach the DECA content, handle membership, students, out-of-school plans, competition plans, and various other logistics
Risks:
Student Run:
Students run the program. This is a reality for many schools!
Students are allocated funds by the school. They are self-taught and hold little to no incentive for bettering the school’s program as a whole.
