Orchards — Heritage High School’s school-based enterprise was one of 360 enterprises around the country to achieve Gold Level re-certification this year, and will be recognized at DECA’s International Career Development Conference in Anaheim, Calif.
Students Amy Rodriquez and Luis Reyes, assisted by adviser Shawn Perez, worked on the certification, the eighth straight year the school has received it.
A school-based enterprise is an entrepreneurial operation in a school setting that provides goods and services to meet the needs of the market. The certifications come in three levels — bronze, silver and gold — to recognize outstanding achievement by school-based enterprises.
