Ever since then, DECA has become an integral part in Tanveer’s life that he hopes to be a part of for years to come.
Apart from DECA, Tanveer participates in numerous clubs and activities at Blanchet. He is an avid member of Speech & Debate, CEI, Science Olympiad, and Varsity Tennis.

He enjoys competing in Restaurant Food Service Management, an event in which he has placed first overall at SCDC and ninth overall at ICDC. Tanveer loves DECA because of the opportunity to meet new people, build connections, and learn real-world skills that will push members to their utmost potential.
