The Chalik & Chalik law firm is proud to announce the sponsorship of the South Plantation High School’s DECA Club. This local branch of the national marketing club has been in existence at the school since Jason was a student. Mr. Jerry Holt, a teacher at South Plantation when Jason was a student, has sponsored the club all of these years.
South Plantation High’s DECA Club boasts over 200 members that compete in national competitions throughout the year. Through sponsorships from individuals and businesses like Chalik & Chalik, the students are able to travel to competitions to compete and bring home honors for themselves and their school.

To date, the South Plantation DECA team has had 230 winners at state level competitions and placed in the top three levels for international competitions.
