When Old Rochester Regional High School students Teddy Carroll and Eddie Gonet made the DECA International Competition last year, it wound up being cancelled by covid.
This year, they were able to compete and place in the international business competition.
Gonet placed seventh overall in the world at the competition, and Carroll placed in the top 20.
“It’s a dream come true,” Gonet said. “Because the past two years it’s kind of what we’ve been working toward.”

Parents set up a selfie station in the lobby.
On April 27, students came back to Old Rochester Regional to learn in person for the first time since schools closed in March 2020.

The Old Rochester Regional Debate team has brought its season to a close, with a number of members placing well in competitions.
The 25 students on the team debated over zoom against 15 other schools from across the state.
“Debate has been my favorite club these past four years,” said Senior Co-Captain Emma Vivino of Marion. “While it was sad to have my senior year be a virtual debate season, I feel so lucky to have been able to work with the wonderful members of my debate team.”
