Nearly 1,000 students from 26 Texas high schools, some as far away as Stephenville, converged on Copperas Cove High School Saturday morning for the annual DECA Region V District Conference.

 

But Copperas Cove High School students helping host the competition were ready, among them Ashley Wilson, DECA Region V president, and Brittany Colbath, Texas DECA vice president of team operations.

 

The hallways of CCHS were a buzz of activity with students preparing to compete and make their presentations. About 450 of the students will advance to the state contest held in San Antonio on Feb. 22-23.
